Paper candles

We love these paper candle ornaments for our Christmas tree that use simple supplies — including small gold or copper baking cups, painted paper, glitter and glue — to mimic the look of traditional tree candles. The result is a cozy, glowing candle-look ornament that adds sparkle to your tree but without the fire hazard of real flames. The hands-on process and handmade result give this project extra sentimental value — perfect for family decorating rituals and keeping a cozy, homey holiday tradition alive. The House That Lars Built has all the details.
