Vintage License Plate Candle Votive

This Vintage License Plate candle votive is a fun gift that you can make for a simple homemade hostess gift or even for yourself. While I recommend this craft for adults, with a little help kids of all ages could make this simple tin Vintage License Plate candle votive.

To Make This Vintage License Plate Candle Votive You Will Need:

Vintage License Plate s

Nail

Hammer

Gel Wood Stain

Old Rag or T-shirt

Pillar Candle

Scissors

Ruler

Hot Glue

The first step is to measure how tall your pillar candle is.

You want to make your pieces of Vintage License Plate to be about one inch taller than your candle. To determine how wide it needs to be simple place your pillar candle at the edge of a piece of paper. Roll the candle along until it has made one complete roll on the paper. Now, add one inch and cut that line.

Now, you need to start working on the Vintage License Plate part.

Now, start laying out your Vintage License Plate on the piece of paper. This is the time to create your design and pattern for the candle votive. Cense plates into pieces. This will give a more whimsical look. Use the pieces to create a unique design.

You can cut out letters, shapes, and images easily.

Have some fun arranging and rearranging the pieces on your template. You can not go wrong if you do this!

If you are having trouble finding affordable Vintage License Plates, then try using new license plates or even those license plates you find in tourist shops when you travel. Any metal license plate will work!

Now, once you have your pattern established start using your rivet tool to punch out holes in the overlapping Vintage License Plate pieces.

Next, use the rivets to attach the pieces together.

Once you have your Vintage License Plate all attached together, lay it out in one sheet on your table. You can roll the sheet of Vintage License Plate you made into a cylinder. Punch holes with the riveter to attach the cylinder together.

You are finished! You can place your pillar candle inside.

Now, I like to set my Vintage License Plate candle votive on a small vintage plate and set a pillar candle inside!
