How to Make a Tulip Candle Base
Sincerely Creative Mom is here to walk you through making a beautiful spring tulip candle base in under an hour. This stunning decoration is perfect for the Easter table or with your other spring home decor.
Yield: 1 Candle Base
Equipment
- 1 stem cutter
- 1 hot glue optional
Materials
- 1 8-inch candle base
- 4 tulip bushes
- 1 astilbe bush
- 1 5.5-inch mesh roll
- 8 pipe cleaners
Instructions
- Cut 8 strips of mesh, 22 inches long.
- Attach the 8 pipe cleaners to each crossbar on your candle base. Twist them 2-3 times so the pipe cleaners go side to side.
- Scrunch your mesh and attach it to the candle base with the pipe cleaners. Repeat for all 8 strips of mesh, tightly twisting pipe cleaners 2-3 times so they end up facing in and out.
- Cut each astilbe stem in two to create one long stem and one short stem. Attach one short stem to each pipe cleaner, making sure the flowers face out.
- Cut each tulip stem to about 4 inches long and combine four tulips and one long-stem astilbe. Attach a flower bunch to each pipe cleaner, laying each flower bunch beneath the previous to avoid gaps.
- Place your candle in the middle of the candle base and display your beautiful new spring decoration!
