Trim excess card to reveal an upside-down ‘T’. Score and fold 5cm square panels at the bottom, then repeat along the 15cm horizontal line.

2 Adhere sentiments to the square panels. Cover the inside with patterned paper. Trim a small square from red, then round the corners with a corner punch. Cut five candle shapes and secure.
