Now that my quilting group has exchanged gifts, I can finally show you these:

votive-village-003

Aren’t they adorable?

They’re simply battery operated votive candles wrapped with the little houses from the Townscape Die.

If it looks familiar to you, that’s because I just used it in this scrapbooking layout.

If you followed along with Tim’s 12 Tags this year, you might be perplexed, as you may not remember anything of the sort.  That’s because this little craft is from the 12 Tags of Christmas 2010, not 2011.  Yup, I’ve been hanging on to it for a whole year.  (Am I patient, or what?)

You can find Tim’s directions here.  (You’ll have to scroll down to the bottom of the post, as this project was a bonus given after the tag.)

If you’re thinking of making a few for gifties, keep in mind that while one or two of these is a fun little craft, making eight or so, like I did, can get rather tedious.

I’m pretty sure the quilters liked them, so it’s all good.  🙂

Wishing you merriness and time to create!
