Yet another "why didn't I think of that?" product!
Made of parchment, these "gorgeous helens" feature cute and whimsical designs that are printed in faint white. All you need to do is take them out of the package, roll them up, drop a tealight into a wine glass and add a lampshade! That's it.
There are many places to purchase (google them!) or you can make them yourself.
That's cool! I think even I could do that!

I made something similar for our wedding a few years back and used some decorative scrapbook paper that is somewhat see-through. You can find it at any craft store.

I think you could get the white clear solo cups and cut out the bottom then decorate or even cut out shapes. : )

You could use the smokeless candles that you turn on the little switch. Can get them a dollar stores to make them even less expensive.
