For this project you will need:
- construction paper in the colors of black, green and orange (or other autumn colors)
- white vellum or thin white paper
- stick glue
- paper punches with fall motifs
- stylus or bone folder
- foam pad (like a mouse pad) to crease the lines

Instructions:
1. Print out the pattern so that the width of the pattern is 19 centimeters (approximately 7.5 inches) and transfer the markings onto your construction paper. You can do this by pasting the pattern onto the backside of a cereal box and cutting it out. Then you have sturdy template you can use over and over. Then trace around the template onto the construction paper. On darker colored construction paper, use a white or yellow colored pencil so you can see the lines.
2. Cut out out the pattern. Use the stylus or bone folder to create the creases where the dotted lines can be seen on the pattern.
3. Punch your motif between the vertical lines (6 times).
4. Cut a 3 cm x 18 cm strip of white paper and glue it behind the punched out motifs. Let it dry.
5. Now fold the holder so that it becomes a hexagon ring. Glue the flap to the inside of the holder. Fold the triangles outwards.

If you are worried about using a real tea light, use battery operated ones instead.
