Materials Needed:
Candle, any color
Ribbon (some you saved from Christmas last year?)
A button (or two, or three, or...)
Glue Gun
I actually picked up the candle at Target when they had all their Christmas stuff 90% off. So it cost me 30 cents. It had a silver ribbon around it with a snowflake charm. I removed the ribbon and charm, which I used on a necklace; 2 items for the price of one! I cut a piece of ribbon long enough to wrap around the candle. I hot glued one end, then wrapped the ribbon around, folded the end under to create a clean edge, and hot glued it in place. I then took a button and hot glued it in the middle of the ribbon seam. And that's it! I had a plain white pedestal I received as a gift and placed the candle on top of that.
The great thing is, the ribbon can be easily removed and replaced with another color. So, if you change your color scheme, the season changes or it's a holiday celebration, you can swap out the ribbon to match your decor.

Really cute! Wil be doing this for fall, thanksgiving and christmas. I definitly will be following along :)
Great Idea!
I did something similar for a baby shower where I took little scented votives and ribbon from the dollar store. I sewed them around the votives so they could slide out when the candle was in use, then wrapped them in tulle and tied with a tiny ribbon. It was adorable!
