Floral Blueprints
Hedged Candle

• Tape two pieces of No. 20 florist wire and lay them on table side-by-side, like rails of a train track. For a 9" candle, the wires should be placed about 7" apart.
• Place iridescent twigs flat atop the wire, like railroad ties across the rails.
• Lay candle on twigs. Holding wires in place, roll candle until wires meet. Twist wires together and reposition twigs if needed.
• Prune twigs straight across top and bottom of candle.

Pearl Snowflakes

• Using wire cutters and box of pearl-headed corsage pins, cut pins to length of 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch.
• Put pins into wax candle surface. Start at center, work outward.
• It may be helpful to lightly etch main lines of the snowflake pattern into the wax before you begin placing the pins.

Skeleton Leaf Votive

• Select a suitable glass base or container.
• Place a piece of wax floral tissue on design table. Lay selected leaf flat onto tissue and spray with Design Master's Tack 1000. Spray leaves individually to avoid having to reapply adhesive.
• Place leaves on vase in desired pattern. Keep materials away from edge of vase to avoid fire hazard. Place one or two short candles into bottom of vase.

Glowing Evergreen

• Select column candle at least 9" tall.
• Use electric drill with a small bit and drill hole about 1/2" deep on each side of candle. Position holes as desired. In design at left, they're about half way up the candle's side.
• Select two small pieces of permanent pine material. Scraps from other floral designs work perfectly and save money.
• Dip ends of pine branches into pan glue and insert in drilled holes.
• Shape branches as desired. Glue small pine cones and bird into place for added interest.

Tie One On

• Select column candle and a length of fancy cording with tassels. Pin cording half way up candle. Wrap cording around candle and secure with corsage pin.
• Hot glue pieces of permanent evergreen to "knotted" area near tassels. This is a profitable way to use up scraps of leftover materials.
