Top Tip
Candles can be arranged individually on coasters or small wooden slices or grouped together on a larger slice or a piece of slate.
How to Make
- Mix some paint for the wooden coasters, using white as the main colour with a small amount of any other colour to create the right shade. Leave to dry then lightly brush white paint over the top using a dry brush. When the paint is dry, rub the sides of the coasters to create a worn effect.
- The pots can be decorated in different ways. To add a hessian strip, cut a piece of double sided tape, stick it around the top of the pot, peel off the backing then stick a 22cm x 2cm piece of hessian over the top. For making frayed edges, cut a wider hessian strip (4cm) then pull away some of the strands before sticking it onto the pot.
- Glue buttons or small felt hearts onto the pots. Jute twine can be wrapped around the pot, with double-sided tape underneath to stop it slipping.
- For holding an LED candle inside a pot, cut a 5.5 cm diameter circle from thick card, push the card inside a pot, resting about 2cm from the top. Cut a 7cm circle from hessian, fold it in half and cut a 3cm circular hole in the middle. Fray the edges of the hessian, push a candle through the middle then place it onto the card inside the pot.
- Squeeze glue around the pot bases then press dried moss over the top. Glue paper flowers to decorate. Place the pots onto the painted coaster bases.
