I really wanted to accent the boring silver tea lights by giving it some sparkle and color. So I thought glitter would do the trick.
Imagine a dark chocolate brown cloth with pink napkins, and these cube votive surrounding a centerpiece.

in between these cube votives will be these:

Now to accent the boring silver tealights, I thought a bit of pink glitter would jazz it up and give them more pizzazz.

* these by the way are the Cudge.net candles that I ordered 288 of.*
Exhibit A: Spray Adhesive

Not so bad. I was so scared of the flammable substance that I was a bit afraid of lighting them, worrying that they might just spontaneously combust. LOL! The other thing is, I didn’t spray the bottle as far the directions told me to, so it got clumpy and it didn’t give me quite as even a look as I was hoping. The backside is horrendous.
Exhibit B: Double sided Tape

To the left: 1/2″ inch permanent double sided tape
To the right: 3/4″ inch removable double sided tape
As you can see the 1/2″ didn’t quite cover the Glimma Candles that I always have at home, but the 3/4 inch worked perfectly.

It does however fit the ones that Mr. CB used for his proposal, so I plan to use the shorter ones for the cocktail hour.
Next I tested the durability of the tape and heat:


I kept them lit until the very end and it worked out awesome! Removable or permanent, they work just as well.
The best part, after it’s burnt til its last drop of wax, I could remove the metal wick, and reuse the holder by replacing them with new candles from the leftover unGLITTERed votives.

a HOW - TO will soon follow.
What do you think? Glitter is tacky? or you like the UMPH? Or hard to picture the overall picture?
