I wanted to make something to encourage someone this week, and this free Valentine Tea Light Holder from Dreaming Tree is a perfect little gift that is easy to make.

If you’ve never uploaded a SVG file to Design Space, take a few minutes to watch this video where I demonstrate uploading a different Dreaming Tree project. You can also find help for uploading images on Cricut’s help site.

Supplies I used:

• Cricut Deluxe Paper, Dusty Rose
• Mini glue dots
• Medium glue dots
• Aleene’s Clear Gel Tacky Glue
• Double-sided tape (1/8″)
• Double-sided tape (1/4″)
• Battery-operated tea light
• Tissue paper, crinkle paper, or other filling for inside

There’s no assembly video on the Dreaming Tree site for this tea light holder, but I think you’ll find it goes together really easily. Here are some tips:

When you have everything cut out, you’ll have two base pieces, two side pieces, and two hearts.

I used clear gel glue to put the hearts on while everything is still flat. I use liquid glue for this so I can adjust it before it dries.

Once the sides are in place, it’s time to put the square piece on. (The square piece will be the bottom of the base.) I used 1/4″ double-sided tape to adhere the square.

The next step is to put the side pieces together carefully so the edges all line up.

I put four medium glue dots on the base and stuck the box to the top.

I used some tissue paper for the inside because that’s what I had on hand. You could use some crinkle shredded paper or even cut vellum square for the sides. The battery-operated tea light makes it a lovely little centerpiece or mantel decoration.

Happy crafting!
