The candle, decorated with coffee, is distinguished by a mystery and unusual. It fits perfectly into any interior, radiates a pleasant smell, will illuminate your home with a romantic light. For decoration you will need:

A large candle, its diameter is not less than 5 cm, because it is necessary that every thing in the thematic celebration be noticeable and special.

Coffee beans, quite a bit - about 20 pieces.

Twine for winding a candle.

Hot melt, which melts and easily solidifies, firmly fastening the parts.

Several thin ribbons (3-5 mm wide) are coffee or brown. If you have a wide ribbon, then you can cut it into thin tape.

At the first stage, select a candle with a flat widebasis, so that it stably located on a table or on a shelf. Suitable and square candles, as they are also quite easy to wrap twine. You can even take a gel candle in a glass container and decorate it, completely closing the previous figure. When selecting twine, be guided by its natural color, you do not need to use the colored thread in green or other color. In decorations, which you do with your own hands, naturalness is always welcome. In this article almost all the material is natural, these conditions give comfort and extraordinary beauty. First you need to wrap a string with a twine. The height of the decorated part can be any, but still it is more acceptable to use the wrapping for about half the work. After all, if you take the whole candle wrapped, it can not be ignited and used for its intended purpose, and you often want a romantic gentle light at the party, which is poured out from the flame of the candles. Apply the hot melt on the candle (at the selected level) and instantly squeeze the edge of the twine into this place. Then start wrapping the paraffin (or glass,if you chose a gel accessory). Tour windings should be tightly pressed against each other, for this, adjust their fingers, pulling to the first bump. Twine lays tight rings to the very bottomcandles. The final round must be slightly above the ground, so that the candle can stand. If you cross this line of the bottom, then break the stability of the work. The last round is carefully fixed with molten glue, so that the winding does not move off when using a candle. The next step is to decorate the candles with coffee beans. The first row is glued along an oblique line, you can move from the top in either direction - right or left. it does not really matter. The second row of grains is glued at 2 cm fromfirst, and lies parallel to him, that is, along an oblique line. After a couple of centimeters, glue the third row and, retreating the same distance, distribute the coffee particles over the entire area of the winding. It is important when applying glue on the grain to choose their flat side, and the convex side will decorate the candle. Such distribution of coffee elements will ensure the strength of their fastening and the durability of the decor. When coffee grains have taken their positions,proceed to the last stage of decorating a candle. Sweet, just a romantic look, will give an accessory small bows, made in the same colors. For a more contrasting appearance, it is possible to use a brown tape in small white peas or with a gold stitch. For a bow will need a thin length of about 7 cm. Glue the workpiece in half, so that a loop is formed at the top, and the ends are located symmetrically at the bottom of the part. On the back of the joint of the product, apply a drop of glue and immediately press the middle of the loop to form a bow. These decorating elements are distributedchaotically over the decorated part of the candle, covering the large gaps. Try not to pile up the bows, as it will be superfluous, that is, do not turn the coffee candle into a Christmas tree of bows. At this size of the candle was spent four bows. The middle of the satin decorations is complemented by coffee grains. Instead, you can use rhinestones, but only in the tone of work, that is milk-coffee color, beige shades. A coffee candle is ready to decorate your dining tablein a solemn stylized evening. It can be ignited for 2-3 hours without damaging its unusual appearance, but it is important to monitor the safety measures so that the flame does not reach the thread of the twine.
