Let's prepare the herbs
Decorations made of grasses are very fashionable recently. They are beautiful and very impressive. We cut the grass for candlestick making in the garden or in the meadow on a walk in nature. We cut grasses of several colors to make the candlestick look interesting. We choose the glass container from which we want to make a candlestick and we adjust the length of the spikes according to its height. We cut the spikes of grass of unequal length so that they do not exceed the edge of the glass we have chosen. We will prepare enough of them to cover the entire perimeter of the candlestick.
Arranging the candlestick
We will use two rubber bands that we will thread on the glass. Along its entire circumference, we gradually insert grass spikes behind the rubber bands. We alternate colors and types of grass to make the candlestick look interesting. Wrap the string tightly around the glass several times and tie a bow. We cut the rubber bands, insert the candle and we're done.
Use
The grass candlestick is very decorative during the day and in the evening after it is lit. It will create a pleasant homely atmosphere in the room. The candle flame flickers and the spikes of grass cast magical shadows across the room. The candlestick is a beautiful summer decoration for evening sitting at home, on the balcony or in the garden.
Never leave a burning candle unattended!
