You can print your picture by making a photocopy of an original photograph or by printing it out with a laser printer. Do not use an inkjet printer for this project. Black and white photos work best, but you could also experiment with any photograph that has a lot of contrast in color and shade. Consider adjusting the contrast of your photograph before printing or copying it. Make the contrast as high as possible without damaging the quality of the image. Use scissors to cut out a piece of transparent contact paper that is just the right width and height to fit over your picture. Remove the backing from the contact paper, revealing the adhesive side. Carefully place this adhesive side onto the image. Make sure that the inked side of the image faces the adhesive as you press the two pieces together. If there is excess contact adhesive, press it onto plain white paper. Doing so will make it easier to work with. Firmly rub the contact paper onto the image, making sure that all of the inked parts of the picture are firmly stuck to the contact paper. Work from the paper side instead of the plastic contact paper side for best results. Cut away any excess paper using a pair of scissors. For best results, make sure that there is enough contact paper to completely wrap around the outside of the candle holder. Fill a sink or plastic tub with warm water and submerge the picture in it. Let the picture soak for 7 minutes or more. The paper and contact paper will both appear very soggy when done. Take the picture out of the water and gently roll your thumb over the soggy paper side of the picture, peeling away the paper and leaving only inked plastic behind. Work under running water for best results. Note that some of the paper may fall off on its own due to the moisture. The image should have completely transferred itself onto the plastic portion of the contact paper. If you rub the image too forcefully, however, you could cause some of the ink to smear or wipe off. Place the plastic strip on a dry surface, like a table or counter, and let the entire thing air dry completely. The ink side should face up as the strip dries. Even though the ink will not seem sticky when the contact paper is wet, it will become sticky again once the contact paper dries. Note that you may also see a few dots of paper after the strip dries. If this happens, rub these bits of paper off under running water, then let the strip dry again. Place the contact paper strip around the outside of a clear glass candle votive, pressing it firmly into place. Keep the inked, sticky side of the contact paper toward the glass. This adhesive should be all you need to hold the strip in place. Use your thumb to smooth out any bubbles or creases. Keep the strip as straight and flat as possible as you adhere it to the glass. Place a candle inside the decorated candle holder and light it. The picture on the outside of the glass should be beautifully illuminated. This step successfully completes the entire process.

With a black dress, all your accessories should have a color theme. The same goes for your makeup. Make sure your nail polish, eye shadow, and lipstick match your wardrobe. As an alternative, just ensure that your makeup highlights the best features of your face and gives life to your entire look. Try some plum-colored makeup. Purple and black can go together excellently. A bright red lip looks fabulous with a little black dress. If going with this option, just remember to keep the eyes minimal and avoid excessive makeup.

When considering how much you want to spend on a gift, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable with the amount you are giving. Knowing how much you can spend will help you determine which kind of tickets you should get. Some tickets can get very expensive while other tickets are cheaper to get. Other things that you could consider are the importance of the occasion and the importance of your relationship with that person. If you are getting tickets for a family member, you'll most likely want to spend more on it than if you're getting it for a friend or acquaintance. Think about the person's personality and the things that they regularly like to do. You want to get tickets they will be excited about. Once you have a list of potential tickets, you can start to narrow down your options based on budget and their schedule. For instance, if the person is a sports buff you should get them tickets to see a sporting event. If the person's favorite band is coming to town, you can get them tickets to see them perform. Figure out when the person works or if they have a vacation coming up. Consider their schedule when purchasing tickets and try to choose a time or day when they aren't usually working. You can also ask the person about their schedule without making your gift intentions obvious. Say something like "I know you don't usually work on the weekends, but are you going to be doing anything on the 25th? Want to hang out or something?" If the person has time off from work coming up, you can purchase them tickets for a longer vacation. Tickets make for great gifts because they are an experience that can leave lasting memories. When you are purchasing tickets for someone, consider if you can go with them. If you are good friends, they will appreciate the company, and you can share the memory together. For example, you can both see a sports game together, go to the movies together, or both go to a play. If you are getting vacation tickets for someone in your family, see if you can adjust your schedule to go with them.
