A simple project to help light up your December table
You will need:
Taper candles (dark colours look most effective)
Metallic gold markers
Candle holders to hold them while they dry
To make:
Using a gold metallic marker, you can create decorative candles to complement your advent candle*, or use for other festive occasions. Stars in different sizes with dots work well, or you can try a foliage and berry motif along the length of the candle. It’s up to you.
Take care not to smudge the bits you’ve done as you go. Put them in candle holders so they can dry completely on all sides.
* See page 18 of our December issue for instructions on how to make the Advent candle, pictured above.
