doglover Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Anyone here make the candle bouquets who can shed light on how to affix the votives to the "stems"? When I try to stick the wire (aka stem) into the votive, it hits the wick tab. Ideas?TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joym Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 You have to wrap the votive in a piece of tulle (or similar "see-thru" fabric), gather the fabric around the stem and then catch it in the florist's tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth-VT Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I use the little plastic things used to hold balloons to the stick....I forget what they're called. The votive sits nice and flat and then you can wrap it in the tulle, then I use florists tape to finish the stem off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some with the tarts for the holidays but votives bouquets would be fun to do too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
