Materials:

• Candle
• Scrapbook Paper
• Button
• Button Shank Cutter

Instructions:

1. A few weeks ago, this button had caught my eye at Walmart. I picked it up to put in my "Stash". Now I had the perfect reason to use it.
   
   
    
2. I searched through all my scrap booking paper and this was perfect to go with my decor. I measured the height and the diameter of the candle. Using those measurements I cut a strip of paper.
   
   
    
3. I use a lot of buttons to embellish my projects and this is a great tool to use. It's a button shank cutter. You can find it at JoAnn Fabrics in the button section. I used it to cut the shank off the button.
   
   
    
4. It was quick and easy....I glued the paper around the candle and then glued on my "Walmart Treasure".
