Trace the metal motif and use it as a light filter. Place the metallic element on a sheet of vellum paper. Trace the outlines with a pencil. Tracing helps you capture the shape exactly so that the Paper will later act as a soft light filter and cast the candlelight in an atmospheric way. Then cut out the shape neatly. Apply a thin layer of handicraft glue to the back of the metal motif and glue the cut-out vellum paper to it from the back. Press it down gently to avoid any wrinkles, and let everything dry thoroughly. Then carefully place the dried piece back into the tealight holders .
vellum paper-Stamp a strip and wrap it around the jar as a band Cut a strip 6 cm wide and 31 cm long from vellum paper . Stamp the strip with silicone stamps however you like. Stamping gives the wind light a personal touch, and the designs will glow subtly later on when the light behind it is on. Let the stamp ink dry briefly so nothing smudges when you wrap it. Apply a strip of double-sided tape adhesive tape to one end of the strip and peel off the protective film. Now wrap the vellum paper evenly around the glass, letting the ends overlap slightly. Press the adhesive area firmly so the band sits neatly and doesn’t slip.
Clean the stamps and securely assemble the “ wind light ” Clean the silicone stamps with stamp cleaner immediately after stamping. This keeps the fine lines clear and ensures the stamps are ready for your next craft project right away. Now place a pillar candle in the metal holder and set the glass over it. This creates a decorative Christmas “-wind light, ” that beautifully highlights the metal and “ vellum paper ” with its warm candlelight.
