They will be printed in a variety of colours for you to choose from and embellish on the day using a mix of fabrics and threads. The embellishing and sewing together can be done by hand or by machine. Once embellished, the print will be mounted around a wooden disc for use with an LED battery candle/tea light. The completed tea-lights measure approx. 11cm x 10cm.
