It’s not often that you come across a project that’s so simple, so beautiful, that it makes you want to run out and buy a sack-full of tealights.

Today, we have just such a project.

At Atelier, Swiss designers took a crack at giving common household items a new purpose. We lurve this tealight candle ($8 for a hundred!) photo holder.

It costs 10 cents (or less) in materials, 10 seconds (or less) in time, and you can cut it to shape with scissors. It doesn’t get simpler than that!
