Instructions  

(1) Stamp image onto each piece of  Memory Glass with Distress Embossing Ink.

(2) Apply Antique Gold Embossing Powder, shake off excess back into bottle.

(3) Heat emboss each piece of glass with Heat It Craft Tool on a heat-resistant Non-Stick Craft Sheet.   Let glass cool.

(4) Take one piece of glass (embossed side down on work surface since you want all embossing in the finished piece to face outward on the holder), line up another piece of glass to start forming your holder.  Place a strip of tape to temporarily adhere the two pieces of glass together.  Add a third piece of glass with another piece of tape.  You should now have the tealight holder bottom and two sides taped together.  Two more loose pieces of glass haven’t yet been attached.

(5) Place a glue line of Glassy Accents down each inside edge of the holder.  Set aside to dry.

(6) Once dry, repeat steps 4 and 5 for the fourth piece of glass.  Let dry.  Repeat again for the fifth piece of glass.  You have some drying time to adjust the final fit of the glass.  Let tea light holder dry completely – this will take some time depending upon how much Glossy Accents was used.

(7) When dry, peel off one piece of tape.  Dip that edge/corner into the embossing pad ink and cover with Antique Gold Embossing Powder.  Heat with craft tool just until embossed.  Note:  If too much heat causes the Glossy Accents to bubble up inside the holder, smooth it out with a toothpick while still hot.

(8) Repeat step 7 until all edges/corners are complete.

(9) Ink the top edges of the holder and cover with the embossing powder.  Heat emboss.  Your tealight is done!

(10) You can customize a plastic or metal tealight holder by coloring with Adirondack Alcohol Ink and an Ink Blending Tool.  Make sure the Alcohol Ink is dry before lighting the tealight.
