day 154. Pop tab candle holder second try

My project for today. Lissa asked my if she could order the candle holder I made when get to each 50 items of my project.  I had to confess something becaus of this question. I will show you after I show the second try of making the candle holder

My first try looked like this

It looked perfect didn't it. In reality it was not perfect at all. My first try at making these did not fit at all. They were too big. Because I shot the photo in a lower angle you did not see it. But here it is in a higher angle. See the room it has on the left. My second try solved this problem. I have some other ideas I want to try out.
