Hi Everyone,
Debra here to share with you , my project for December.
This month I decided to make a Centrepiece for the table for Christmas.
Please note this is for decoration only, the candles will not be lit.
I started with a visit to our local Reject shop for some supplies of candles,
flowers etc and of course a board to attach it all to.
I then dug through my stash for burlap, ribbon , beads, bells, Gesso etc.
I took all the flower sprays and cut them into individual pieces.
Next I covered each candle with a piece of burlap and glued in place using Tiger Glue.
Once all the candles were covered with burlap, I tied gold ribbon around each and
then left the glue to dry, while I worked on the next stages.
Next I took the white flowers , spread a little or the Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive
on each petal , then sprinkled the gold micro beads over the petals
The next step was to repeat the above process using the gold flowers
and the Distress Dry Glitter, allow to dry
Next was the pine cones, using Gesso on my finger, I randomly dabbed a little a
round the pine cone, then rolled it in the Distress dry Glitter. Allow to dry.
Now it is time to start arranging everything, I used the Helmar Gorilla Glue to stick
the candles to the cork place mat, took a while to dry but stuck well
I glued gold beads to the top of the 5 fatter candles using the Helmar 450
Quick Dry Adhesive. Time to arrange flowers leaves pine cones etc again using
Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.
