I've been playing around with Christmas Gifts for my colleagues. Two thoughts came to mind - candle holders and vases. I completed one candle holder that I'm really pleased with and I wanted to share with you.
This is the brandy snifter I used
I then covered it completely with tissue paper using glue.
I let it dry for a day and then I painted it
This is what it looks like when when lit- using a tea candle. The tissue paper creates lovely intricate design patterns.
I'll be posting as I complete each one. With Christmas right around the corner now is the time to LET YOUR CREATIVITY FLOW!

Nice job. A bunch of these would look great as a centerpiece. You can always go with a neutral color. That way you can use it anytime of the year.
LOVE IT! CAN U USE DIFFERENT COLOR TISSUE PAPER OR DO YOU HAVE TO USE JUST WHITE OR BEIGE? IT IS BEAUTIFUL ESP WITH THE CANDLE LITE!
very nice! I'm sure they will love their gifts!
Thanks for your lovely comments everyone.
@Sharon - I'm sure you can use different color tissue paper. I only had white at the time and decided to use what I had. I would love to see how yours turn out with color paper.
