19. Custom-Tailored Luminaries


These charming candleholders illuminate any space with lovely pinpoints of light. And because they are "stitched" on a sewing machine, you can make multiples in a single sitting.

MATERIALS
    Cardstock of your choice
    coordinating thread (optional)
    sewing machine
    glass cylinder candle holders
    votive candle
    scotch tape

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Begin by stitching patterns onto sheets of card stock. Lightly trace a design or use one of MarthaStewart.com's templates onto the paper with a pencil. Stitch over the pencil marks. As the needle punctures the card stock (with or without thread) it creates tiny holes through which the candlelight will flicker.
  2. Cut to size, and wrap around glass cylinders; secure with double-sided tape.
