Fun With Sheet Music

Here's a fun, quickie project with great results! I know I have come across these types of candles several times while happily skipping through blogville but of course can't remember specific blogs that had them. So...here is my version of it:
First, I started with a prayer candle from Wal-Mart. I got it for $1.00 and I purchased the plain glass ones because I just don't have the heart to cover up the candles with pictures of Jesus or the Blessed Virgin Mother on them.
The only other supplies you need are some sheet music, hemp twine, burlap scraps, scotch tape, and some scissors to cut the twine. Figure out how wide you want your sheet music to be and then carefully tear it to give you a nice, worn looking edge. Wrap it around the jar to cover the candle and then tape it into place. Now all you have to do is place your burlap where you want it and then wrap some twine around the whole thing. Tie it up all pretty and voila! You've got yourself a super cute, Jeanne de Arc-esque candle!

Oh, and one more thing. When you make your candle, please remember to make sure that there is not ANY paper in the way of the flame. We don't want to start any fires now do we?

Enjoy!!
