Candle Wreath

Craft a decorative candle wreath, and make your Christmas dinner table very special. Just remember to use your creativity and add your personal touches of gold and other natural colours that will glow in this table centrepiece. Remember that the lit candle should never touch the wreath, so from the time you lit the candles, make sure you are always present. Now, lets get on with this beautiful arrangement.

You will need the following things:

• Four Gold-coloured (or paint them gold) candles.
• Florist' wire
• Strong Glue
• Hydrangea head
• Tiny Gold baubles
• Berries, or rose hip

Step1

Twist two lengths of wire around the base of each candle, leaving double ends of wire projecting downwards. Spear these wires firmly into the foam ring, spacing the candles evenly.

Step2

Stick nuts to the foam in attractive groups. Use your creativity and sense of beauty. Try with different styles.

Step3

Add clusters of cones between the nuts. Twist wires around the base of cones that have no stalks, or use strong glue to stick them in place.

Step4

Fill spaces in the ring with hydrangea flowers. You can also use other flowerets if you want. Just make sure that they suit your arrangement. Stick the florets in place firmly with glue. Add baubles and berries as finishing touches. You can also add your personal touches here.

Finally !

Now your Candle Wreath is ready to be placed in the centre of your Christmas dinner table. Remember to keep an eye over the candles when they are burning, and extinguish then before the heat reaches the base. Use a yellowish table cloth to suit the decoration.
