A New Life For A Tea Light ...not just one ;-)
Especially through christmas time I got a lot of burned up tea-lights. So I thought of a new use for them. Cut like this you can use them for decorations or hang them on the tree or add them to your gift-wrap...
I'm sure you got some ideas too (and I would like you to share them with me ;-)..
