'Frosted' Candle Holders...with a leaf motif
Clear contact paper gives these an etched look, but after the holidays are over (and a new one has begun) you can just peel it off and add a new one (snowflakes, maybe?)
You need:
clear contact paper
glass candle holder
scissors
craft knife
1. Trace or draw a leaf onto the paper side of the contact paper. Cut out.
2. Using the craft knife cut a slit to start cutting out the stem, I found it was easier to finish the job with the scissors.
3. CAREFULLY peel off the paper backing. This can be a little tricky, just pull slowly & make sure not to tear any corners.
4. Stick to the outside of your candle holder, adjusting as needed & making sure there are no air bubbles. I used a filled candle, just because that's what I had on hand, it would look great on a clear glass votive or candle holder--be sure to use one with straight sides to avoid lots of bubbles & creases.

**The look is subtle...it would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving table, where you are close to the candles :)**
