DIY CANDLE DECORATION

[General Wax and Candle]

 

Candles, perhaps, can be considered reminiscent of antiquity, with elegant beauty, warmth and vitality of a small fluttering light in the hearth and home. It has long been believed that a candle flame and the fire in the fireplace have a cleansing effect and protect the house from evil spirits. The effects of the firewood aroma, like juniper twigs or other trees placed in the fire, exude healing aromas.

 

 

 

It was believed that the light of a candle had the same cleansing and healing power, therefore, every house and even every room was supposed to have at least one candle.

 

 

Ancient candlesticks and chandeliers are very beautiful. They consist of delicate candelabra which are special candle holders, originating from the ancient Etruscans - the forerunners of Roman culture.

 

 

Different shapes of decorative stands for candles were made of wood and metal. In later times, candelabra were decorated with additional ornaments and crystals.

Crafty season is upon us. Please please please consider not using combustible materials in or on your candle.  The first pic in the OP is very concerning.   You just KNOW someone will light this as-is and will possibly set their home on fire. Consider the packaging as the lowest common denominator customer might.  The wick is too long.  The paper lining is just a huge paper wick.the botanicals all around are side wicks. All in all it would fail an ASTM safety review.

 

If someone can mess something up, they most certainly will.
