snow Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I am going to do a hurricane for a friends wedding. Here is my plan....A bouquet of bergundy roses with white ribbon and the names and date across the bottom in burgundy. I was thinking of putting little tiny bows or clusters of flowers on the outside of the cane, maybe at the top corners of photo. How does that sound and does anyone have any suggestions to add? I will sell it with a votice candle scented maybe in rose? Or some other scent because maybe everyone doesn't like rose, what do you all think?

Candle Man Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Have you made these before and how will you attach the flowers & ribbon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 I've done canes, with Donitas help (Thank God) and they are now coming out very nice. I never put anything on the outside of them, but I was thinking trying a little dab of glue maybe? What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 "Sticky Wax" from Pourette might be just the thing. Roll a small amount in your hands to soften, press on back of flower bud and onto lantern. Let set for day or so and it becomes quite secure. You can also melt it and apply with small brush to the item (works well with ribbon. leaves, flowers). HTH Janette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Glue will not hold on wax & the sticky wax might hold at first but will not hold up over a long period of time.Straight pins will work, you can use the pearl head ones to add to the decoration.

snow Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Candle man....I made the cane and it turned out very nice, I found out that glue will not stick on wax. I have an old cane here and I tried it and your right it held for a while but if you touch it it falls off. I saw a little bow on one of Donita's canes on her home page, thats where I got the idea. I thought of the pins but thought it might crack the wax. But I'm gonna try it on my old cane. Thanks so much. I'd post a pic, but I dont know how, dah!!
