Check out this cute candle stick I got at Good Will. It was originally white but I wanted something with a little more antique and autumn feeling so I painted it Pistachio Green with spray paint by Krylon....
I just love that color!!
For the paper flowers I used an old book that had been caught in the rain at a garage sale so there was no guilt about ripping the pages out. :)
The flowers are oh-so simple to make!!
Roll it up from the outside in...
Starting out tight and rolling loser as you go...
I used a hot glue gun to glue the bottom and keep it from unrolling.
I cut a 3/4 inch strip of my book page and glued it in a circle to slip onto the candle and then glued my paper flower to that...
. For some I cut out leaves, folding the leaf in half to give it shape...
