Quick Candle Decoration

[wireweaver]

One idea to match up candles with napkins for a festive dinner party.
Using 3 ply napkins cut round picture you wish to place onto candle making sure it will fit the width of candle. I find Church candles are best for this project.
Mix a glue wash of 50% water and PVA glue.
Paint over suface of candle to be covered.
Separate the 3ply napkin and using only 1ply with picture place over the glue wash on the candle.
Using paint brush with glue wash spread out picture pressing out any creases. Cover with glue wash.
Place on one side to dry.
Go over picture at least 3 times allowing to dry between washies.

These can be used for any festive occasion when using decorative napkins
