How To Make A Music Note Candle

Creating a balloon top decor offers a charming and unique way to decorate for events or add a playful touch to your home décor. Below is a step-by-step guide to making one, elaborating on each step for clarity and success.

Step 1

Gather the following material:

I have included a list of available craft supplies for your convenience.

Red and green felt
An empty soda can
A Swiss knife or cutter
Scissors
Hot glue
A tea light candle

Step 2

Start by carefully cutting the soda can in half with a Swiss knife or cutter. Be sure to do this step slowly to avoid any sharp edges.

Step 3

Next, slide the top part of the soda can into the bottom half. This not only makes the can smaller but also safer to handle since it hides the cut edges.

Step 4

Measure the circumference of your new, shorter can on a piece of red felt. Cut the felt so it will wrap around the can just right.

Step 5

Using hot glue, stick the red felt around the outside of the soda can. Make sure it’s smooth and covers the entire surface.

Step 6

Cut a small strip of green felt for the top edge of your candle holder. Glue this on for a pop of color and to mimic a festive lining..

Step 7

You can jazz up the green trim by adding any design you like with more felt or even by cutting a pattern into the green felt

Step 8

Now, cut another strip of green felt for the bottom edge of the candle holder. Glue it in place and decorate this piece too..

Step 9

Choose some Christmas shapes or symbols you love, such as stars, trees, or musical notes, and cut these out from the green felt. This is where you can get really creative!

Step 10

Arrange and hot glue your festively cut shapes around the middle of the can, turning it into a themed spectacle.

Step 11

Place a tea light candle on top of your new holder. The candle will sit nicely on the flat surface.

Step 12

Your craft is complete, and now it's time to light your candle and enjoy the cozy, festive glow it brings to your room.
