Dried Candle Centerpiece
Materials
-
1 3-inch diameter x 6 or 8-inch tall candle
-
Approximately 2 dozen wooden floral pics with wire (available at florists and craft stores)
-
1 brick dry flower floral foam
-
1 6-inch clay pot
-
Dried flowers and foliage: 5 bunches of your choice or 2 medium sized pre-made bouquets
-
1 hand full of green sphagnum moss or Spanish moss
Directions
-
Cut floral foam to fit the inside the pot. Then insert the foam into the pot, making sure that the foam is about 1.5-inches higher than the rim of the pot. Set the candle in the center of the floral foam.
-
Trim all the dried flowers and foliage to a length of 4 to 5-inches.
-
Make small “bouquets” (about 5 stems each), of individual flower varieties. Using the floral pics with wire, wind the wire around the lower stems of these small “bouquets.”
-
Starting just above the rim of the pot, push dried flower “bouquets” into the dried foam, one on each quarter of the pot.
-
Now as you did in step 4, insert 4 more “bouquets” just below the candle, at the top of the dry foam.
-
Fill in the spaces between the flowers with more “bouquets.”
-
To hide any unsightly dried foam, place green moss at the base of the candle and the rim of the pot
