Beaded Tea Light Christmas Candle Holder

This little candle was going to be one of those candles made with a bath tissue roll but when I put the little tealight inside after finishing the 3rd round, I just had to make it a little candle holder as you see here! You could make several of these and put them around your house or give them as party favors! One more thing! You may not have noticed, this pattern matches the Little Fir Christmas Tree!

Sheetworks Studio is your free crafting workspace for printing accurate templates, bead strips, quilt blocks, labels, and creative project sheets. Every page is sized for US Letter paper and engineered for clean cuts, perfect alignment, and smooth creative flow.

A major new version of Sheetworks Studio is coming in July. The app is being refined, expanded, and polished to bring you an even smoother, more powerful creative experience. Until the relaunch, the current version remains usable if you have already downloaded it.

All items in our online shop ship free within the US only. I currently offer U.S. shipping only and it is from rural Maine. Delivery can vary from 2–14 days depending on your distance from Maine. Expedited shipping is not available.

Please note: I am now selling all of my paper bead making tools and other items from this web site using Paypal payments.

I have removed all of my paper bead making tools from Amazon. My Kindle crochet pattern books and paper template paperback books continue to be available on Amazon, as they are printed and fulfilled directly by Amazon. A limited number of paper bead making tools remain available on Etsy but I am not linking to those tools from this site.

Random Quick Tip!

Sewn CD Trivets
You can make great trivets by using old CD's and heavy fabric. Make 2 circles of heavy fabric & 2circles of terry towel fabric 1" bigger in diameter than the CD.Then layer the pieces in the following way. Heavy fabric, right side down, terry towel, CD, terry towel, heavy fabric right side up. Hand baste the layers together 3/8" away from the edges being carful not to hit the CD. Then on your sewing machine, work a zigzag around the edges to lock in the frayed edges. Then you can use a decorative crochet thread or yarn and a hand needle to work a blanket stitch around the edge. Then if you wanted to, you can work a row of crochet stitches around on the blanket stitches.
