We have all lost someone we have loved at one point or another.  These are people that you wanted to spend your special day with.  There are many ways to honor those who you have lost on your special day.  You can do this by putting out a picture or lighting a candle.  I decided to combine these two things for those special people in my life.  Here are the instructions for you to remember that someone special on your day.

Here is what you will need:

1. Vellum (Michaels $.50 a sheet)
2. Glass vase (Michaels $1.99)
3. Ribbon
4. Double sided tape
5. Computer and printer
6. Candle

First you will have to design a template that will be printed on your vellum.  I used photoshop to create my template this can be a difficult program to use at times but once you become familiar with it you will love it.  I also chose to do a black and white photo and I will bring in the color later with my ribbon.  Here was the template design that I came up with. . . .

and here it is after you print your template on the vellum

I purchased this paper cutter and it is beyond worth it! So now you have to cut out your template.

So now you have your cut out template

 and your vase

time to begin assembly. . .

First you will want to position your vellum

and then use your double sided tape to secure your template 

To hide your seam you can use some of your ribbon and the tape will work to secure this as well. 

Now to finish it off you will use your ribbon on the top and bottom of the vase.  I have chosen to incorporate both of my wedding colors and on the vase and I love the layered look that it produced.

and there you have it your finished product. . .

Here is one in color and black and white. . .
