Eco Tea Light Holders

As we mentioned in our earlier post, the approach we wanted to take was to be eco-friendly and not harm the environment. We would purchase the tea lights separately and sell as an item but the physical 'holder' of the candle would be what we would sell. Below you can see some images of the different ideas that we had in mind. 

After scrolling through Pinterest we found that it was really an idea that lots of people had experimented with. We plan on using a wide variety of styles and materials to cater to a larger group of consumers. This means that singly we can each focus on styles or designs that we really admire or are passionate about. 

Glass

                        Concrete/Clay: All examples easily adaptable between the two

Paper

Nature focussed: Wood/Flowers

When searching we also found that many of the experimentations that people had done they had actually documented, so with some ones we like we can follow an easy process on how to achieve them! Here are some of the links:

People even have their own 'stores' dedicated to Tea Light holders on etsy, an online site where you can sell your own craft.
