Shimmering Holiday Votives

1. Using the votive candleholder opening as a template, trace circle onto center of cardboard

4. Tack cardboard in place with painter’s tape on the underside of template and the outside of the glass
5. Spray inside of votive candleholders with Krylon Looking Glass Mirror Like spray paint in very quick bursts by lightly tapping spray tip and rotating votive candleholder quickly at the same time

   (Tip: Be sure not to spray too closely to the votive holder and change the angle of the votive holder often so that the inside can be completely covered)

6. Let spray paint dry one minute between each coat
7. Continue applying spray paint and turning votive candleholders until the inside is completely covered and the outside of the glass appears mirror-like and opaque
8. Let spray paint dry completely

10. Add additional coats of Krylon Brushed Metallic spray paint as needed
11. Let spray paint dry completely
