I have been busy tatting up snowflakes and gifts for Christmas and had to try this wreath by Renulek which can be found here. She also has a new one for 2015 here. Originally I thought I would use it as a brooch but doing it in Pearl cotton it came out quite large but I had an idea. The idea actually came from another tatting site, I believe this is the same candle holder that Cornelia uses and shows the inserts she has made on her site.I won this glass candle holder at The Fringe Element Tat Days 2015. You can place almost anything between the glass and it will stay clean and protected. You can add a tealight candle, real or battery powered. If you turn it over it will hold a bit larger candle. I almost need a few more of these for the table as I only have the one.
I'm working on this wreath now. Yours is perfect in the candle holder, it makes a nice frame for the tea light.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! And functional. Love it when tatting can be put to such lovely use :-)
ReplyDeleteI actually thought Cornelia kind of stuck the tatting to the base ... but this is much better, coz you can change at will .
That's very effective, good thinking.
ReplyDeleteWonderful wreath!!! :)
