Holiday Candle Idea

Mood lighting plays an important role in creating a warm inviting environment, and candles are fantastic for that "sitting by the fire" warm glow. Here's an easy trick to add a rustic decorative look to your everyday pillar candles.

Items you will need:
-Pillar Candle
-Candle Tray
-Decorative Feather Trim
-Instant Krazy Glue (brush applicator recommended)
-Rubber band
-Cranberries (real is recommended)

1. Brush the base perimeter of the pillar candle with Krazy glue. The glue does not get absorbed by the candle so be careful not to touch the glue with your fingers.
2. Brush the tape of the decorative feather trim with Krazy Glue.
3. With candle sitting wick side down, wrap decorative trim around the base of the candle using the rubber band to hold the trim to the candle.
4. Let glue sit approximately 15 minutes.
5. Gently remove the rubber band and turn candle wick side up.
6. Set candle center of tray. Place cranberries generously at corners to liking.

Hint: the cranberries are great to hide mistakes or if you run short on trim.
