Found these pretty pretty LED candle holders instruction over at c(oi)n:purse. That texture is just sooo very cool. She made these using thread - thread!What you need:
LED lights (real candles will probably start fires)
cardboard (like a pasta box)
wrapping plastic (the stuff that comes wrapped around cases of drinks)
tape
thread
fabric stiffener spray
LED lights
cardboard!
plastic wrap!
Make a cylinder out of the cardboard (make sure your LED fits inside it!!) and tape the sides of the cylinder together.
Then tape the plastic wrap around the cardboard.
Wrap tons of the thread around the cylinder. She recommends not doing it super tight.The spray the fabric stiffener over the thread (follow the drying instructions for the product you use)
The fabric stiffener she used indicated microwave instructions for speedier drying (be sure to read your instructions!)
Slide the plastic wrap off of the cardboard tube. Then wrinkle the plastic away from the thread.
Pretty!
