This Christmas,
you can make your Christmas dinner table very special, by crafting a decorative candle
wreath. Just remember to use your creativity. It will help if you add your personal
touches of gold and other natural colors that will glow in this table centerpiece.
Remember that the lit candles 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-colored (or paint them gold) candles.
Florist'
wire
Strong
Glue
Hydrangea
head
Tiny
Gold baubles
Berries,
or rose hip

|
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. |
| Stick nuts to the foam in
attractive groups. Use your creativity and sense of beauty. Try with different styles. |
|
 |
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. |
Fill spaces in the ring with
hydrangea flower-est. 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
as per your artistic tastes. |

Now your Candle Wreath is
ready to be placed in the center 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. |
