For all rainbow-color fans, this tealight holder is perfect just the way it is.

But if you prefer other colors or your leftovers are different colors, that’s no problem either, because of course the holder can be crafted in any matching colors you like, or even in a single color!



The tealight holder is made entirely from photo cardstock, is approx. 15 cm tall, and is also very well suited for craft beginners.

Leftovers really are the best. You don’t have to buy any yarn, and you can crochet or knit something lovely even from the tiniest balls. And because you usually make only small things from leftovers, you finish quickly and can enjoy them sooner. Here are my suggestions for you. For more pictures, information, and the pattern itself, just click on the headings.

I hope you enjoy looking through them and making them yourself.
Warm regards from Ina
