Master class on creating a gift for a couple with their own hands

Whether it's your friends' wedding anniversary, orhousewarming for relatives, it is customary to give gifts on these holidays. Many are perplexed by the choice of a gift for a married couple, but there is a simple solution - to present as a present the personification of the family hearth, namely a large candle. To prevent the gift from being boring, it should be decorated, observing the direction of one theme. An excellent souvenir for a married couple who love the sea or miss relaxing on the azure coast will be a candle in a marine style.Step-by-step photos on the creation of a decorative candle. Photo №1To create an original gift, prepare the following:

  • A large candle of any color, but for marine themes it is still better to use white.
  • Different seashells, especially the starfish looks impressive.
  • Imitation of pearls, that is half-beads painted under white pearls.
  • Hot glue.
  • Threads of blue color (yarn) or a soft blue ribbon.
  • Step-by-step photos on the creation of a decorative candle. Photo # 2First you need to decide on the height of the bluewindings. You can decorate the entire candle, but in this case the yarn (ribbon) may quickly catch fire or melt and the "hearth" cannot be lit. Therefore, it is more appropriate to use decorations only for the lower half of the candle. If you decide to decorate one lower edge of the hearth at a height of 3-5 centimeters, you will get a look of a pot or candlestick, so the "golden mean" is the best option for decoration. Having marked approximately the central part of the candle, drop a little heated glue on this place and fix the yarn. Then start winding the souvenir downwards.Step-by-step photos on the creation of a decorative candle.

The spinning threads will slide easily on the paraffin, and the base of the decor will turn out nice and orderly.Step-by-step photos on the creation of a decorative candle. Photo №4The next step is to proceed todecorating candles with shells. To do this, first try on the sea gifts dry. Try to arrange them in a certain order, for example, large parts look good in alternation - first one in the center, then stick a couple of shells in the lower and upper places, then again place the element in the middle. The main sea beauty - the starfish - be sure to stick it in the most visible place so that it takes the middle position. You can use small and medium-sized shells. Very large ropanas and shells will look bulky and out of place.Step-by-step photos on the creation of a decorative candle.

Remember that hot glue sets very easily and quickly, and the shell is a rather fragile material, so do not apply force and press, press the element to the base.Step-by-step photos on the creation of a decorative candle. Photo №6All gaps between large parts must bedecorate with small parts. Pearls will suit the marine theme, but naturally you won’t have to unravel the pearl thread for the sake of the craft, but it’s enough to use imitation. When choosing decorative pearl imitations, pay attention to those that are easy to glue to a flat surface, that is, these are elements like half beads.Step-by-step photos on the creation of a decorative candle. Photo №7Place the imitation pearls loosely around theall places where there is a gap between the shells. You can decorate the upper part of the thread with half beads, where the winding begins, then the place where the smooth candle transitions to the decorated part will be hidden, and the pearls will look like a sea transition from blue water (yarn) to the ground (candle).Step-by-step photos on the creation of a decorative candle. Photo №8You can glue it where the star ispearls in each gap of the legs, or decorate only the upper gaps and one lower one. When choosing, focus on the style: either you do everything chaotically, as in this example, or you observe order and symmetry, then you place all the beads strictly relative to each other, observing the mirror principle.Step-by-step photos on the creation of a decorative candle.
