Instructions
Step 1
Some brides are in no rush to order wedding accessories from holiday agencies. Making them with your own hands, you can recharge yourself with a romantic mood and feel all the delights of wedding preparation. In addition, this is a great chance to get even closer to your future husband if you call on him for help. Wedding accessories should be designed in the same style. If you want glasses decorated with rhinestones, you need the treasury, hearth and book for wishes with rhinestone patterns. The color scheme of the candles should consist of the same shades that are used in the decoration and images of the newlyweds.
Step 2
The simplest design option: take a strip of openwork lace and wrap the lower third of the candle with it. Glue the junction of the two edges by pressing it against the candle itself. Tie a beautiful satin ribbon bow or glue on fake flowers on top. Instead of lace, you can wrap the candle with a wide ribbon of a light shade, and the second layer with a narrower ribbon several shades darker. Exactly in the middle, attach a beautiful brooch or buckle decorated with rhinestones, beads, etc.
Step 3
Use rhinestones to decorate the hearth in an elegant style. Carefully lay out the first letters of the names of the newlyweds with them. To make the inscription look even and beautiful, first draw the outline with a pencil. In this case, other decorative elements should be discarded. Pearl lovers can wrap the candle with a string of artificial beads. Each turn must be placed as close as possible to the neighboring one so that there are no gaps. Decorate the upper border with satin ribbon roses, artificial flowers, feathers or large beads. You can tie a small bow.
Step 4
If you are proficient in polymer clay modeling, decorate a wedding candle with a composition of leaves and flowers. Attach them with a glue gun. A set of accessories made in this style will look very original and delicate. To give the hearth a romantic and festive look, make several types of large clay flowers and arrange them so that the composition covers the lower third of the candle along the entire diameter. If you surround the hearth with a floral sponge and slightly wet it, you can use fresh flowers as decoration.
Step 5
When decorating a family hearth, do not forget about candles for parents. They should be decorated in the same style. Also, as a hearth for newlyweds, you can use large curly candles (in the shape of a ball, rose or heart) and small heating ones, which are placed in a beautiful candlestick with a handle and a door.
