Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Fabric Cut plaid fabric into strips. You'll need enough to wrap around your candleholder and create a bow. Refer to the photo for sizing and placement guidance.
Step 2: Stiffen the Fabric Apply Mod Podge Stiffy generously to your fabric strips according to package directions. This will give the fabric structure and help it hold its bow shape beautifully.
Step 3: Wrap the Candleholder While the fabric is still workable, wrap it around your glass candleholder. Position the fabric as shown in the reference photo, ensuring the plaid pattern is centered and visible.
Step 4: Create the Bow Tie the stiffened fabric into a decorative bow. Shape and adjust the loops and tails while the Mod Podge Stiffy is still damp for best results. Allow to dry completely so that the fabric will hold its shape once set.
Step 5: Add Gold Accents Using a brush from the FolkArt Artist Variety Set, apply FolkArt Treasure Gold to the candleholder base or rim for an elegant metallic finish. Refer to the photo for placement ideas.
Step 6: Final Assembly Once everything is dry, place your glass container candles inside the decorated holders. Arrange with your own holiday decor, or box up to gift to a loved one!
Pro Tips:
- Work with Mod Podge Stiffy in sections to maintain workability
- Shape your bow while the fabric is damp for the best hold
