White Taper Candles
By: Amy Law for Kreinik
Here's an easy way to dress up inexpensive candles and truly personalize your wedding
ceremony or party. The beads, tape and metallic thread lend an elegance and charm for quick
embellishments.
Materials:
- White taper candles (purchased from a discount store)
- Kreinik #12 Braid 4006 Rosehip, 3240 Opal
- Kreinik 1/8" Ribbon 032C Pearl , 001C Silver
- Diamond Beadlets®
- 1 roll of double-sided red-liner Treasure Tape
- Ziploc® bag or shallow tray
Steps:
1. Apply tape to the base of your candle. (Make sure your tape is above the part of the
candle which sits in a holder- you can place it in a holder and make a line as a guide)
2. Remove the red liner from your tape. Begin embellishing with thread. We recommend
starting at one edge and working upwards. Use the liner to press your threads into the
tape occasionally.
