Christmas is all about candles for me, lots and lots of them and I like to pimp them a bit too. As my first december DIY I would like to show you how to make candle-rings out of wire. It is very easy and when my daughters were younger they made them by the dozen as Christmas presents.
You need: Wire, flush cutters, pearls and a candle for measureing.
1. Make a ring of wire that fits your candle.
2. Cut of a piece of wire and fasten it to the ring.
Tread a pearl on the wire and secure it on the ring.
Add another pearl in the same fashion.
3. Tread another but bigger pearl on your wire and this time make a "stem"
instead of placeing the pearl directly on the ring.
4. Secure the pearl by twisting the "stem"
5. Continue all the way around the ring,
alternate between pearls on a "stem" and pearls directly on the ring.
6. Bend the "stems" to an upright position.
7. Tadah, your candle-ring is done! Why not make a few more?
Enjoy!

What a wonderful idea having a creative Christmas count down. I hardly dare to see that I was planning some christmas count down (does the word advent calender mean anything to you?) myself, but unfortunately it is too busy over here. So I appreciate your advent calender even better!
Take care.
I have made this 4 years ago for my candles with pearls and .
They are also lovely like yours ;-)

I hope you understand my English
