Hello
I dont know if anyone here can help me!

Im looking to decorate some candles - with wire and beads, just wondering if you had any tips about how to secure the wire and do i just crimp the beads to keep them in place- also which wire to use?

Hope you can help

When I decorate with wire I push an end into the candle, twist the wire round the candle and then push the other end of the wire into the bottom of the candle.

I get wire with beads already threaded on the wire from Country Baskets.

HTH.

Cheers.

I do the same but I also make little horseshoe shapes out of thin wire to push in at strategic places over the main wire to hold the shape.
