instructions

1. Refer to our template and die-cut ‘XMAS’ from red paper. Place our pattern on top of the letters. Insert graphite paper between the paper and pattern, then use a ballpoint pen to trace and transfer the design.

2. Use a Gyro-Cut or sharp knife to trim the border and design. Create the dots with a hole punch. Fix the cut-out paper onto the front of a candle bag with spots of glue, then tape bobble trim along the base. Place a tealight in the bottom of the bag. Make an accompanying 'NOEL' candle bag with our motif.
