I really didn't think the friendship bracelet was all that bad in the September 2011 Birchbox, but I saw lots of reviews that didn't feel the same. So for those that don't like or won't wear the bracelet, here is an idea on how to repurpose it, as well as the tissue paper that Birchbox packs their items in!
 |
| Materials needed for making the candle holder: glass candle holder, glue, 2 paint brushes (one large and one smaller for detail), bowl with a few tablespoons of water inside, tissue paper (repurposed from Birchbox), and the Birchbox Friendship bracelet |
 |
| Add an equal amount of glue to the water |
 |
| Mix water and glue |
 |
| Start ripping tissue paper (does not have to be perfect strips) |
 |
| Place strip of tissue paper against glass |
 |
| Load glue/water mixture on larger paint brush, while saturating the paper use light strokes to adhere the tissue to the glass |
 |
| Start layering the 2 colors of tissue (Birchboxes come with 2 colors of tissue paper) |
 |
| Majority of the candle holder done! |
 |
| Use the smaller paint brush to work on detailed area |
 |
| Here's what the inside looks like |
 |
| After it dries add the Birchbox Friendship bracelet as an accent |
 |
| Add a tealight candle, votive candle, or flameless LED candle |
