Okay I know that it seem alittle crazy but you what? I love these Shade! So I have made a couple more for around my house and One for a girl friend of mine wedding table pieces.

These are lovely. I snagged them. Thank you for sharing!

These are great. I plan to do some for Valentine's Day (going to a masquerade party and I'm making some for MY table) and I'm going to use flameless candles.

Thanks.

I'm gonna have to give these a try, I'm a very boring decorator, maybe this will give me some inspiration...do you put a tealight in the glasses? Also, what size do you cut them?

Putting a tea light might be dangerous since the shade is paper...might start a fire and we don't want that. The flame might not go high enough to start a fire, but I wouldn't trust it...flameless might be safer.

They will surely make beautiful decorations and so easy.

o.k. I cut it and the upper heart is not 'attached' anywhere so didn't stay on the design, may I ask how you did it?

figured it out, I think if I would cut it on a 12X12 matt rather than the baby bug it would cut big enough for it to be attached, just have to be very careful taking it off the matt.
Thanks for sharing!

I moved the nodes on the upper heart a little farther from the other heart. I also rotated a little to maximize the size on a 6x12 mat. It should cut a little better on the baby bug now. I hope it's ok if I post it here (let me know if it isn't).

thank you, I was going to play with it at nap time, you saved me the trouble. I appreciate that I can spend nap time doing something like dishes or something
I'm sure someone will let you know if this is the inappropriate spot or not;
I think your design is beautiful!

Sorry It took me for every to post back Wifes day out! I have a E and I cut it at 6inches if you line it up with the corner. I have a tealight in it and don't seem to have any problems. I also for the back of the cut outs it is Tissues paper. that I have Decoupage to the inside. Here is what it look likes when I cut it On SCAL
