1. Trace a 4” circle onto cardstock and trace a 1” circle in the center. Cut out.

2. Punch 1/4” holes around the edge of the cardstock, to create a pattern. Trace the pattern onto crafting plastic with a marker.

3. Cut out and punch the plastic according to the pattern.

4. Thread beads onto the eye pin, leaving 1/2” unbeaded. Coil the unbeaded end with pliers.

5. Attach the beaded eye pin to the edge of the plastic with a jump ring. Repeat steps until the entire bobeche is beaded.

6. Place on candlestick, and insert taper candle in the center to complete.

Christmas candles are always a pretty way to decorate, and if you make these jeweled bobeches you’ll have no more ruined tablecloths, or wax covered candlesticks. Plus, a set of candlesticks complete with beaded bobeches would be a beautiful gift.
