CANDLE

Step 1: Cut a 14" piece of wire. String one Yellow 6mm Round Bead on the wire. Center the bead on the wire and knot the wire around the bead.

Step 2: cut a 13" wire. Hold this 13" wire together with the wire from Step 1. String four Yellow Round Beads on both wires on each side of the center bead. Bend into flame shape. Make sure all beads are nested together. Twist all four wires together twice, close to the beads.

Step 3: Hold all four wires together. String on 11 Ruby 25mm SUNBURST Beads. Make sure beads are nested together. Tightly knot on the last bead with all four wires. Cut off excess wire except for ½". Bend this ½" back against the last SUNBURST BEAD. This forms the candle.

Step 4: Cut a 10" piece of wire. String 31 Yellow Tri Beads on the wire. Make sure beads are nested together. Bend the wire into a ring and twist wires together several times to hold. Cut off excess wire. Tuck into the inside of ring the twisted ends.

Step 5: Repeat Step 4 except use a 12" piece of wire and 51 Yellow Tri-Beads to make a larger ring.

Step 6: Cut two 10" piece of wire. Attach these wires to the base of the candle by wrapping the middle of each wire around the four candle wires between the first and second SUNBURST Beads. The wires should extend equally spaced around the candle.

Step 7: Set the base of the candle in the smaller Tri-Bead ring. Attach the candle to ring by wrapping each of the four attachment wires (from Step 6) around the ring wire between the Tri-Beads nearest each attachment wire.

Step 8: Set the candle (with inner Tri-Bead ring) in the large Tri-Bead ring. Attach the inner ring to the outer ring by wrapping each of the four attachment wires around the outer ring wire between the Tri-Bead nearest each attachment wire. Cut off excess wires except for ½"; bend each 1/2" end in against the ring.

Step 9: Cut an 8" piece of wire. Attach one end of this wire to the inner Tri-Bead ring by wrapping the wire end tightly around the inner ring between any two Tri-Beads. String 19 Yellow Tri-Beads on the long end of the wire. Make sure all beads are nested together and bed wire into a loop. Tightly wrap the wire end around the outer ring wire between two Tri-Bead directly opposite where the wire was attached to the inner ring. Cut of any excess wire.

Step 10: Cut a 6" piece of wire. Attach one 6mm Round Ruby Bead onto wire.
Center the bead on the wire and knot the wire around the bead. Than attach another one on each side of the center bead, knotting each one so you have three together twisting them tightly. Do this separately again so you have four sets of these beads.

Step 11: On one wire of the beads, string two Emerald Holly Leaves. On the other wire string one Emerald holly leave. Push the leaves up close to the round Beads. Twist the wires together once to hold.

Step 12: Repeat step 10 and 11 three more time to make a total of four holly sprigs.

HAPPY CRAFTING!!
