When fall comes, it’s time to look for some softer lighting to decorate your home. If you want to join some pillar candles, why not add charm to them by placing small, festive wreaths around the base? They are quite cheap, and you can make Fall decor at your convenience. Here is what you will need for this project:
How To Make A Falling Crown Ring For Your Pillar Candles–
Materials List
Form the crown (you can use wire and form your own, use a Styrofoam ring, or a pre-made form).
Column candles (Make sure the candle and column crowns are in compatible sizes).
Artificial Flowers in Complementary Colors (You will only need two bunches. These are not going to be big and you don’t want to crown.)
Decorator Item Pre-Made with Floral Picks (You can go with almost anything in the wreath; from small pumpkins, to tiny hay bales or pine cones< /a>.Use only one or two of them per crown).
Dry dough (If you are in a hurry with a Styrofoam ring form).
Floral Picks (Applying wreath flowers and moss to Styrofoam).
Floral tape (For applying floral packages cut flowers.
Wire Cutters (Flowers from a bundle to cut).
Step 1: Begin
Begin by taking bunches of artificial flowers and using wire cutters to cut individual flowers from the bunch. You will want to stick the flowers depending on how long you want the stems to be. Since these crown rings go to pillar candles, you can count on them being pulled short.
You might just be tempted, give them a tug and see if you pull off the flower heads, but resist the temptation. It is much easier to attach floral wire to an already existing stem than to try and fight with the floral wire to stay inside the flower head.
If you are using a Styrofoam wreath, you can go ahead and attach the moss using floral pins. You want the foam to completely cover the top and outside edge. You won’t see the inner rim as it will be in wax, and you want to leave it bare.
Step 2: Attaching the flowers to the wire
When you have all the flowers cut and sorted, you start attaching them to the floral wire. Using your floral tape, secure a length of wire to the head of the flower and the rest of the stem. Don’t worry about the length of the wire just yet. You can cut it into workable sizes when you start placing the flowers for your wreath.
Step 3: Start building your Crown
Find your starting point in the crown of the wreath and start gluing the flowers into the wreath. Try and make an example, like the great Burgundy mum in front; side or at twelve, three, six, and nine o’clock; according to the size of your crown. Around the outside you could place golden, white or reddish colored daisies. Do it with flowers to place inside the ring, which will still fit easily on the pillar candle, and you will remember to add one more spot in your outfit.
Step 4: Adding the Finishing Touches to Your Crown
Once you have completed the arrangement, install the kit(s). If you use more than one, make sure you put them together, such as a pumpkin and a small bale of hay on one side, or two of the same kind, such as two gold, pine cones on either side. balance
