A spring table decoration that will be ready in a few minutes. A simple and effective candle holder with boxwood and jute. You can find inspiration and “how to” instructions in the following video tutorial.
Boxwood
Buxus or boxwood is a beautiful deep green evergreen shrub that can be found in almost every garden. It is a relatively undemanding tree that thrives in the shade as well as in the sun. It tolerates shaping and a deeper cut well. Boxwoods are therefore very suitable for shaping decorative solitaires of different sizes and for shaped hedges. Do you like simple natural decorations? Twigs are great for making wreaths and much more natural decorations all year.
Instructions
You can arrange a simple decorative candelabra in a glass container in a few minutes. It is not difficult to make, even a beginner can create it without any problems.
Material
- glass jars (larger and smaller)
- boxwood
- Water
- jute ribbon
- string
- scissors
- pliers
- candle
Preparation
We cut boxwood twigs to the size corresponding to the containers used. We try to choose similarly grown twigs so that the candlestick is nicely symmetrical. If we arrange the boxwood in water, the lower leaves must be removed from the twigs so that they do not rot in the water. If we arrange dry, it is not necessary.
Arrangement
Wrap a jute ribbon around the larger bowl and tie it with a string. Place a smaller container in the center. We pour a little water into the space, arrange the prepared boxwood branches and put a candle inside. Buxus can be arranged in water or dry. It will keep its color for a long time if it is not exposed to direct sunlight. The candlestick decorated with boxwood is a beautiful natural decoration for the table and chest of drawers.
