CHRISTMAS CANDLE AND DECORATION FOR IT

Send

We all love the New Year and Christmas holiday. They are very funny and brightly memorable, despite the fact that they fall in the cold season. Most importantly, this holiday should be celebrated at home, among relatives and friends and with different beauties and goodies on the New Year's table. New Year itself is a holiday of miracles and magic, respectively, and preparation for it should be the same. Everything should be carefully prepared and planned, and most importantly, so that everything on the table looked elegant. The most important element of decor on the table is, of course, a beautiful Christmas candle decorated with various Christmas accessories, so to speak, a home. And in order to give yourself pleasure, you can make such a composition with candles on your own. And surely, every housewife still has candle cinders, so you just don’t need to throw them out, you need to collect them, and then melt them and make one big candle out of them.
So, to create such a composition you need to take:
• Candle cinders, approximately 200 grams;
• A can of high tin from under the drink;
• Candle wick, holder for it;
• Red and green cardboard;
• Toothpicks and wipes;
• Napkin for decoupage with Christmas elements;
• Stamens, berries in sugar, shiny bouquets;
• Gold mesh;
• Cord of burlap;
• Stars from brown sisal;
• Sisal of several colors;
• Cones;
• Ribbons made of brocade and satin;
• Figured hole punch;
• Lighter;
• scissors;
• Double-sided tape;
• Spangles;
• A spoon;
• Christmas tree branch;
• Glue gun.

First we need to make the candle itself. We take the cinders, pour them into a bowl and set to melt in a water bath. We remove old wicks and all unnecessary, we melt to a homogeneous mass.

In the meantime, you can prepare the mold, cut the wick about 15 cm long, insert it into the holder, put two toothpicks on the jar, and put the wick in the holder on them. You can fill the mold with wax. We put it in a cool place, but not in the refrigerator for about an hour or two.

We cut off a strip of green cardboard 9 * 19 cm, and red 7 * 19 cm. Both on one side are made openwork with a hole punch. Double-sided tape glue them together.

From the napkin we tear off the strips and pictures we need, we need to remove the top part from each picture. Glue cardboard into a ring. We prepare the decor for the stand. We tie bows, twist balls from sisal, twist bows from stamens and berries.

We wrap the joint with a ribbon and knit a bow, in the center we glue the cabochon-heart. On the opposite side we glue bows, a bouquet, a twig, sisal balls and a cone. On the sides we glue Stars with bows.

We take out a candle, warm a spoon and smooth it over the picture by picture to the candle. From above we make a gold rim with liquid glitter.

Done. You can insert a candle into the decor and you get such a bright New Year's set. You can, for example, pack in a beautiful film and will be a great gift for loved ones. Very interesting and informative, so you can try new creations.
