middle of the night inspiration
The idea for these little votive hangers came to me a few nights ago, during one of my (increasingly frequent) middle-of-the-night episodes of wakefulness. I think my average per night is up to three times now, and occasionally four. Just getting ready for those late night sessions with Little One!
I made something similar using mini jelly jars a while ago, but that night I had the idea to use some of the many glass votives that I have stashed here and there. (I suppose one could have too many votive holders, but I haven’t gotten there yet. Or maybe I’m not the type of person that can have too many?)
I used some 18 gauge aluminum wire in about 18″ lengths, and twisted it to make a ring that would hold the votive.
Then I took the loose end and wrapped it under the base, looped it around the ring and made a hanger. Twist the final loose end in place, and …
… that’s it!
