The candle holders are suitable for tea lights or for candles with Ø approx. 4 cm.
Here's how it's done
For each candlestick a wooden wheel is needed as a stand. Remove the rubber tyres from the wooden wheels you need. An alternative for the wooden wheels is Wooden discs with a central hole (Ø approx. 6 - 7 cm).
Depending on your personal taste you can combine Wooden balls and spools for your candleholders. Before painting, place the balls and bobbins in front of you to get an idea of the height of the candlesticks.
Paint balls, spools and wooden wheels with Chalky paint. Once the paint is dry, thread everything on wooden sticks and glue the parts together with Effekt Glue. Place a tea light plug on each candle holder and fix it with Effekt Glue.
Use Ink Pads to carefully wipe over the edges of the wooden spools and wheels. Take a piece of string, wrap it around each manufactured candle holder and glue a small golden wooden star on the Ribbon . Cut the ends of the string to fit.
