Had some red tall taper candles from Denmark travel years ago but no candle holder fit.
Some empty glass bottles glued on 2 layers white crepe paper and let dry. Added an insert of thick aluminium kitchen foil wrapped so that candle fits/sits tight.
Then painted them light coat acrylic gold paint Winsor & Newton twice air drying well between layers. ( Do not use heat gun on paints fumes are not good for health!)
With thin copper wire added leftovers glass seedbeads freestyle. Two different ways.
With thicker sturdy gold wire made a mini beadwork wreath also with glass seedbeads.
The color is holidays green was from think Fusionbeads.Green with silver coating.
