3. Lighting Photo Centerpieces

Create these amazing centerpieces by opening four frames and removing the glass and backing. Tape a photo to the frame so that the printed side is out, but the photo is secure in the frame. Hot glue the four frames together in a square, each photo facing out. Next, place a votive or tea light candle in the center of the frames!
