Country Candle

The last few blogs that I have done have been for fall and Halloween.  I am going to switch it up a bit and decorate a candle and vase that I have had for over a year and didn't really do anything with it- other than put the candle inside.

I gathered some supplies that I would need:   Some lace,  a vase, a star, dress makers pins, jute, and the nuts that I had left since last Christmas.


I filled the vase with the nuts.  Then wrapped the lace.  I used a small pin to hold the lace together at the join and the keep it on the candle

Then I added a jute bow.

I used another small pin and pinned the star onto the centre of the bow.  One final step.


Add it to the vase with the nuts.   I like it!
