Last Minute Gift Ideas with Epiphany Crafts

The holidays are quickly approaching and I want to share a couple of quick and easy ideas you can use to put together some last minute gifts using Epiphany Crafts tools and accessories.

First up is this set of candle holders. It only takes minutes to make them with just a few supplies. I wrapped the wire around the candle holder a couple of times and then twisted the wire around a pencil to curl it- you will want to leave a bit of the wire uncurled for the next step.  After putting together my photo charms I added them to the wire and formed a small loop from the remaining wire to secure them in place.



The Epiphany Crafts charms make great mini photo frames for projects like this one, but you could also use patterned papers, stickers, etc. to fill in the charms to match the home of the recipient.


Supplies:
Epiphany Crafts Round 25 Shape Studio Tool
Epiphany Crafts Round 25 Charm Settings
Epiphany Crafts Round 25 Bubble Caps
Votive Candle Holders/ Candles
26 Guage Silver Wire

My second gift idea also uses the same metal charms to make this fun bookmark. You could create personalized bookmarks for each child (I know my children sometimes tend to disagree about whose bookmark belongs to who) or this would make a great gift for a grandparent or other family member. Again, you could also fill in the charms with patterned papers, stickers, etc. to create a fun gift for the recipient. To make the box I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the Necklace Jewelry Gift Box by Rivka Wilkins. I needed an insert that would hold the bookmark so I hand cut one to fit inside the box and hold the bookmark in place.
