I thought I would show you how I altered some garland to decorate a candle.  This candle is one of those that is wax but it has a flicker candle in it.

This is a look from the top.  I like these candles because I don’t have to worry about drips and candle wax on my furniture.

So, I started out by finding a piece of paper that I wanted to use to compliment the decor of the room. 

I measured around the candle then torn the paper and distressed it.  Oops! I put the paper on the candle upside down. 

Easy enough I pulled it apart and flipped it over.

Now, I found this tinsel at HL and decided to us some Copics to give it some various colors.

I randomly colored various pearls to add some dimension and various looks.

As you can see I added some black and various shades of brown.

With that done I hot glued the piece of garland on to the candle in the middle over the paper I distressed.

Ok, the paper on right side up now I’ll glue this on the paper.

Looks like a lot right now but wait until you see it with the others.

Here they all on the Mercury Glass candle holders.  I love the way they look.  I did have trouble keeping this one up on the small candle holder.

I solved this by cutting a circle the same size,  distressing the circle, and hot glued it to the Mercury Glass.

I love these candles all spruced up.  They add texture and whimsy to the room.
