Steps
- Personalization
-
Using a brush, apply the gilding mixture to the Bonne Maman glass jars and wait 1 minute until it becomes transparent.
- Then arrange the gold leaves before applying a new thin layer of mixture. Let dry.
- Piercing the capsule
-
Using a hammer and a nail, pierce the center of the capsules. With a cutter, draw a star in the center of the lid, then insist several times on each line until the metal is cut. Fold the star towards the inside of the capsule, this prevents the edges of the circle from being sharp. - Fixing the candles
-
To make the candles stable, attach them to the bottom of the small glass jars using a little hot glue. - Fixing the candlesticks
-
Attach the 4 small candlesticks to the wooden circle. To do this, glue the bottom of the glass jar with neoprene glue. Place it in the desired location, then remove it. There must be glue on both the wooden circle and the glass jar. Wait 10 minutes before replacing the candlestick. It should set immediately. Let it dry for a few hours.
- Plant decoration
-
Decorate the wooden circle with eucalyptus branches and dried flowers. To glue them, make small dots of hot glue at the ends of the branches. To create the attachment of the suspension, cut 2 jute threads of 1m60 each. Fold them over on themselves and make a loop by making a knot. -
Finally, attach the 4 ends of the fastener to the wooden circle, in the green spaces between each candle holder, by making a knot. There should be 45 cm between the loop of the fastener and the wooden circle for each end.
