Project by Mary O'Neil.

Materials:

assorted vellum paper
Hot Potatoes rubber stamps
permanent ink pads in coordinating colors
craft knife
metal decorative edging tape(used in stain glass crafts)
glass votives or plain straight-sided hi-ball glasses
double-stick tape

Steps:

1. Choose two colors of vellum that look nice together, making sure one is much lighter than the second. Roll the glass across the vellum and mark with a pencil to make a pattern (figure A).

2. Cut out the two colors of vellum and stamp designs on both pieces of vellum (figure B).

3. Use a sharp craft knife to cut out the design on the darker color of vellum (figure C). This allows the lighter color to show through.

4. Securely tape the first piece around the votive holder (figure D).

5. Repeat with the darker second color (figure E).

6. Finish the edges with decorative metal tape (figure F).
