Instructions
Little Cherub tomatoes are what you need. They come in the perfect container. (And the tomatoes are delicious!)
Gather supplies.
Separate the top and bottom of the plastic container. Spray paint the top pink and the bottom lime green.
Print the FREE DOWNLOAD. Cut out the leaf of choice and trace it onto a sheet of light and dark green craft foam.
Cut out the leaves.
Once dry, flip over the bottom half of the plastic container and draw a 1/2 inch circle. Using an X-acto knife, cut out the circle.
The tip of the tea light should fit easily into the hole.
Place a circle of hot glue around the flame tip of the tea light.
Put the flame tip of the tea light through the hole and hold into place until dry.
Place a dab of hot glue on the flat base of each leaf.
Apply to the bottom of the plastic container. Repeat with the second leaf.
Pop the pink top of the container back onto the green bottom and turn upside down to switch on light.
