NOTHING SETS THE MOOD LIKE CANDLELIGHT, especially candlelight glowing through translucent paper. Inexpensive wine glasses become fancy candle lamps when topped with vellum shades. Use them as dramatic lighting at each place setting on the head table. Or put one on a mirror in the center of each guest table with a sprinkling of foil-wrapped candies. White, off-white or pastel colors will allow the most light to shine through the shades

materials

8-1/2" x 11" (21.8cm x 28cm) sheets of vellum (one per lamp)
scissors
scissors with decorative blades
decorative paper punch in desired shape
glue pen
wine glass
tealight or a battery operated tea light
candle putty (floral clay)

2. Trace the lampshade pattern onto the sheet of vellum. Cut the straight ends and the inner curve using plain scissors with decorative blades.

2. Punch designs about 1" (2.5 cm) from the lower edge, spacing the designs evenly.

3. Apply a thin line of glue (a glue pen works well for this) to one straight end. Lap the other end over the glued end, forming the shade.

4. Secure the votive candle and set the lampshade atop a wine glass
