This project is a modern tea light holder set designed to create a soft, atmospheric glow using a delicate mini dot cutout pattern. Each holder features a smooth cylindrical shape with evenly spaced tiny perforations that allow light to gently shine through, casting a subtle constellation-like pattern onto nearby surfaces. (I had to use my phone flashlight to make the design appear but with normal tea light the design should show up!)

This set includes two matching cylindrical tea light holders, perfect for pairing together on a table, shelf, or mantel. When an LED tea light is placed inside, the mini dot cutouts diffuse the light beautifully, creating a warm, calming ambiance that feels cozy without being too bright.

The clean cylindrical form combined with the dotted pattern gives this design a timeless, modern look. It’s easy to print and makes a lovely decorative accent for your home or a thoughtful handmade gift for any occasion.

This is one of my first designs, so if you have any issues or suggestions, please feel free to comment or leave a review as I truly appreciate the feedback!
