At-Home Reception Favors
Last year, I threw what I thought was going to be a big party—but only 10 of my 25 guests showed. As a result, I had a ton of these plastic snap-together party cups shaped like mini-wine glasses. I decided to use them to make candle favors for all of my guests.
Here's the end result:

Here's how I did it:
Materials:
Plastic snap-together wine glasses (Party City)
Sheer ribbon (Michaels)
Crazy Glue (or any clear-drying fabric glue)
Scented votive candles (cudge.net)
Directions:
1. Assemble wine glasses.
2. Cut 6-inch long strips of sheer ribbon.
3. Glue one end of the ribbon to the stem of the glass.
4. Hold until the ribbon adheres. (Use a pen tip to keep your fingers from getting stuck.)
5. Wrap ribbon tightly up the stem at an angle.
6. Glue the remaining end to the stem.
7. Place candle in wine glass.

be careful
Just a little warning. I remember making candles like these back at summer camp. The problem was when we lit the candles the plastic caught fire and we almost burnt down our cabin.
