| Instructions |
| 1. Wax serrated knife with candle stub or paraffin. Cut two 4" cubes from foam block; set remainder aside for future use. |
| 2. Use standard scissors, or paper trimmer, to cut two 5" squares from one sheet of white embossed paper. Overlap and glue edges of two remaining embossed sheets 1" to create 12" x 23" sheet; cut two 4-1/8" x 17" strips from paper. |
| 3. Spread thin, even coat of glue onto top of first foam cube. Center paper square over glue and smooth with fingers. Fold excess paper down sides of cube, clipping corners so paper lies flat; let dry. Repeat with second cube. |
| 4. Wrap long paper strip cut in Step 2 around sides of first cube, crimping edges. Remove paper and fold firmly along each corner to create crease. Glue paper around cube; trim excess. Repeat with second cube. |
| 5. Glue 1/2"-wide lace trim "icing" around top edge of each cube. Glue white braid trim around bottom of each cube. |
| 6. Paint candle picks gold. Cut small "X" into center top of each cube, cutting gently through paper. Push candle picks into foam. |
| 7. Refer to photo to decorate each cube; cubes do not have to be identical. Glue silk flowers to top of cube. Find wedding quotes on-line and print onto bridal-print paper; adhere to cube. Add lettering with glitter glue or alpha stickers. Add glittery or dimensional embellishments. Add small photos or personal memorabilia. |
