Here's one way to use them...with candles. Candles are cool, cheap gifts. Snip, stick and you're done.
You Need:
candles or tealights (I got mine from the $2 shop)
sellotape
Wraparounds download
scissors
Here the paper is under the tape
Method:
Print and cut the wraparounds
Trim to fit candles
Tape wraparound to candle or around the outside of a tealight
Other ways to Wrap:
Tape around paper only to position it
Couple of bits of tape at the ends of paper.
or just winding the paper around.
Just a small piece of tape where the paper joins.
Here they are in action.

PS I don't think you need telling, but candles should be used under supervision. Paper on candles should be removed before flame gets to them.
Note:
Alternative Method:
Older crafters: small images can be attached by 'priming' the image with wax.
'Paint' both sides of the image with melted wax.
Warm the back of a spoon with candle flame and apply the image by gently pressing image with hot spoon.
This way the image can stay on the candle.
Still... candles should be supervised (they may be naughty).
