What You Will Need

  • Cricut machine
  • Cricut Design Space
  • Sea shell SVG files
  • Votive candle
  • White vellum
  • Mod Podge
  • Paintbrush
  • Brown twine
  • Scissors

Instructions

  • Prep your votive holder by washing and drying it before you get started.
  • Upload the SVG file to your Cricut Design Space account. Set up the images the way you'd like them. Follow on-screen instructions to cut the sea shell(s) you'd like to use from a sheet of vellum.
  • Apply a coat of Mod Podge and while it's still wet, apply one of the shells.
  • Apply more Mod Podge over the top of the vellum.
  • Repeat the process to add more shells to your votive until you have the look you'd like!
  • Allow to dry.
  • Apply a little Mod Podge around the top edge of the votive. Wrap some twine and tie in place. Again allow to dry completely.

Notes

  •  If the paper isn't entirely sticking, use a toothpick or the end of your paintbrush to hold the paper in place for a moment.
