Now that we are in the midst of our summer season and finally able to enjoy small family gatherings safely, we want to create a memorable event. Our floating candle project is just what you need to make a beautiful centerpiece for such an occasion! These little candles are so charming, you’ll want to make a few for your centerpiece and a few to keep on hand to use as decorations for cakes or cupcakes. They are especially pretty if you make them two colors of wax. So, let’s get our supplies together & get started!
Repeat these steps for the number of floating flowers you decide to make. You can also pour solid yellow beeswax for a simpler look or reverse with a white center and yellow petals. Experiment and see which appeals to you.
Once you have completed your flowers you are ready to place them in a ceramic bowl, glass jar or wine glass with water. I tried a few different looks and added a few of our candles to the mix just for fun. I really love our sparrow molds! The tea lights, cylinder candles and ball candles add a size variation that is pleasing to the eye.
Rocks and leaves add a natural, relaxed look to an arrangement. Have fun playing with your ideas and stay inspired, ya’ll!
