Make a Thread Cover for LED Tealight

Here’s a quick and sweet idea from Mrs. Green Tea at Wedding Bee: Make covers for battery-operated tealights out of thread and fabric stiffener. I love how these look, and they are super simple! These are great for weddings, parties, or even to dress up your home, and the great thing is — they are safe! No fire hazard here! [click here for information on how to make these] [via]

Mix up the look of these by choosing different thread (or other similar material). I really like the organic look of this off-white thread, though!

Project Estimate:

Battery operated tealights, 2 for $1
Thread, $1
Fabric stiffener, on hand
Cardboard roll, on hand
Plastic wrap, on hand

Total: about $.50 each

Awesome idea. Note to LED tealight lovers – I found replacement batteries for mine at Big Lots, four for $1.70.

Using a sugar/water starch could work if fabric stiffener is not available. It worked well for all the crochet snowflakes I used to make. I like this project. I can foresee using up a lot of crochet thread and cotton yarn.

The 80s Called…
And they want their prom dress flower back. I recently saw this great little tutorial on making ribbon flowers at Make It Do. How beautiful is that? It is perfect for spring and with all the grey, damp, snowy weather we’ve had in West Virginia, I could use something to brighten my days. I bought some ribbon. [...] […]
Tee Dress Fail
Half of the fail in this tee dress is just my body shape/size… I’ve been wanting for eons to make this tee dress from this video tutorial at threadbanger. EONS. So I finally did it tonight, after having some unexpected time on my hands due to the snowstorm. Well, it is certainly easy enough to do. [...] […]
Knot a Flower
Hmmmm, I am beginning to see a pattern with my crafting fails. Whenever I try to make some sort of flowery doo-dad for an jewelry project, I crash and burn. Here’s my latest flaming inferno of failure. I had an urge to go all Martha and make a flower zipper brooch like I have been seeing [...] […]
