Materials and Tools
As a crafting expert with years of experience creating custom decor for events, here's what you'll need for these stunning monogram luminaires:
- Small white paper bags
- Decorative edge craft scissors
- Small hole punch (1/8" diameter)
- Large hole punch (1/4" diameter)
- Large monogram rubber stamp
- Dark brown ink pad
- Scrap cardboard
- Pencil
- Salad plate (8" diameter)
- Sand
- Votive candles
Step-by-Step Directions
- Place the salad plate on top of a paper bag, about 4" from the top, and trace along the edge with a pencil.
- Use decorative edging scissors to cut along the pencil line, creating a scalloped edge at the top.
- Randomly punch holes along the scalloped edge with the large and small hole punches to mimic delicate lace.
- Slide a flat piece of cardboard inside the bag to prevent ink bleed. Ink the rubber stamp, press it firmly onto the bag for your monogram, and let it dry before removing the cardboard.
- Stand the bag upright, fill the bottom with sand for stability, and nestle a votive candle into the sand. Line up your completed luminaires for a glowing display.
