Christmas Crochet Candle Glass Cover
Since baker’s twine has the wonderful Christmas colors of red and white, it was used to create these glass covers. Because it is a twine, the texture of it feels really interesting and also holds nicely onto the glass. Holes were created so that the glow of the tea light or candle used will show through. One of these covers is made within 30 minutes so it is also a quick project to make, as well.
