Step 2 – Print and Cut Valentine’s Day Images

Print and cut out Valentine’s Day images. Make sure that the paper lands below the lip of the glass candle holder. We don’t want the paper close to the flame to avoid a fire.

Step 3 – Attach Printable to Prayer Candle

I use double-sided tape to attach the printable to the candle. But, you can use a glue stick if you want a more permanent scenario.

Step 4 – Add Yarn and Pom Pom

To make the small pom-pom check out my pom-pom post tutorial. I made a small pom-pom that is about an inch in size. I ended up wrapping the yarn around my index finger to get the smaller size.
