Bright Ideas With Candles * (part 2)

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Candle arrangements in unusual containers can be creatively  unique.
Use items you have around your home. Try votive candles in  fluted
molds, saucer type champagne glasses, muffin pans or on  inverted clay
flower pots in clay saucers; surround with brightly  colored ribbons,
jingle bells, small shiny tree ornaments or pine  cones. Florist clay
or candles "stickem" can be used to secure the  candles. 6). Winter
wonderland: Candles can be used to create an  illusion of moonlight on
snow covered boughs. Place white or ivory  candles of various heights
in glass holders. Group and surround them  with snow-flocked
evergreens. Intertwine metalic colored ribbons  around candle holders.
Use crystal angles or trees for a touch of  fantasy. For a doubly
beautiful effect, arrange grouping on a  mirrored background to catch
and reflect the light. 7). Paper-Bag  Luminaries: Can be made using
small paper bags, plain or colored,  sand and votive candles. Bags can
be decorated by cutting out holes  with scissors or paper punches, but
make sure they are small so that  the wind cannot put the candles out.
Fold top of each bag down about  2" for added strength. Put about 2" of
sand in each bag. Place candle  in the center of the bag, making sure
it does not touch edges; light  the candle. Place 3-6' apart on edge of
sidewalks, driveways and  steps. Do not place near dry leaves or
shrubbery.  From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at
