Holiday season DIY: Make your own personalised festive tea lights

Imagine standard tea lights that turn out to be not that standard after all, but very special indeed! As the wax melts, a cute picture or a little message, all with a Christmas theme, appear.
They would make a very special attention for your Christmas guests at the Christmas diner table, or your lovely neighbour. Hand them out as a secret Santa present or simply a gift for someone you care about or want to thank.
These festive tealights also make the perfect fillers for your Advent calendar DIY kit or to slip into your personalised Christmas stocking.

This lovely Holiday season DIY is free to download. The illustrations combine a mix of pictures and messages all with a festive theme.

To make your personalised festive tea lights

You will need :

• 20/24 tea candles
• A pair of scissors
• A pointed blade to make a hole
• To download the printable of festive pictures
  We made two versions one for Christmas and one for New Year. There are also some blank circles so you can make your own

First, carefully cut out each circle.

Next you need to prepare the candles by, first, removing each candle from its metal casing and then by removing the wick from the candle

Now, select the pictures you want for each candle. With a pointed tool, make a little hole in the centre of the picture. To this effect, a dot indicates the centre on each picture.

Insert the wick of each candle through each picture, then place the wick back on the candle

All there is left to do now is to put the candle back into its casing, lit the candles and let the magic begin !
As the wax melts, the pictures will appear.
Our pictures are in black and white. You can add yoru own touch and colour them like we did.
