DIY Memorial Candles photo 1

This is a very simple DIY project.  All you need is ink jet vellum, glass cylinders, votives and ribbon.

After finishing your design, I would first print it out on regular paper and put it around your cylinder so you know for sure that its exactly how you want it.  When you've finalized your design, then print it on your ink jet vellum (you can find vellum at your local scrapbook store, Michael's or JoAnn's).

Before permanently adhering the vellum, double-check the heigth of your vellum and if needed trim any extra with a paper cutter or scissors.  Using double-stick tape or adhesive, line one edge of the vellum.  Wrap around the cylinder and secure.

Next, take your ribbon and wrap around the bottom of the cylinder to see how much you need.  Cut and place on the table.  Use your double-stick tape or adhesive and put a strip on the ribbon the same length. Adhere the ribbon to the bottom of the cylinder and secure at the back.  Repeat this process if you'd like to put ribbon at the top as well.

Put a votive candle or LED light in each.  Do not use a tall candle as this will not illuminate the entire cylinder.

standards and, in some cases,

even withdraw financing from

longtime customers. To make matters worse,

European institutions are simultaneously

banks to reduce their portfolio of loans.

Analysts say Europe’s banks
