The wreath I made is pretty traditional, constructed from evergreens decorated with tiny read and gold glass balls, cinnamon sticks, pine cones, dried orange slices etc, but there is also one thing in it which is more original – the candles. I created them from big, shiny apples; in each of them I made (with a spoon) a small hollow, one big enough to exactly fit in a tea light. I gave two of them a finishing touch by pasting small pearls around the tea lights, and the other two by sticking in some cloves in the same place. It’s an easy way to create a very Christmasy-looking and original candle, which not only can be used in a variety of Christmas projects, but also smells nice when lit – especially the version with cloves. As on alternative, you can also use an orange instead of an apple. So, go forth and make a nice wreath for your home!
And today another piece of Christmas inspiration – an advent wreath. Traditionally, you get one about four weeks before the Holidays, and every Sunday one candle is supposed to be lit – hence the four candles.
