Ingredients

  • 2 Prayer candles
  • Mesh ribbon
  • Sequin trim
  • 2 Ribbon ornaments

Instructions

  • Wrap the mesh around the votive candle and trim to fit (with a little overlap).
    Roll of deco mesh rolled partially around a 12 inch glass candle
  • Place a thin line of hot glue on your candle and press the mesh ribbon into it being careful not to burn your hands/fingers. I use silicone finger covers to prevent burns. Overlap and glue down to cover the candle.
    Cut mesh wrapped around a glass jar candle
  • Place a dab of hot glue on the seam formed by the mesh ribbon, and place the end of your sequin trim down.
    Continue placing dots of hot glue and the sequin trim until the candle is fully wrapped. Repeat at the bottom.
    Sequin ribbon added to the glass candle as trim with a hot glue gun
  • Add a ribbon ornament or other embellishment with hot glue to finish.
