Christine de Beer - effortless floral craftsman

Temporarily securing a Candle to a Vase

Cut a lengh of floral fix putty

Roll the putty in a long snake

Connect the two ends

Place the putty at the bottom of the candle

Place the candle in the container

Press down hard and twist the candle. This creates a vacuum that will help keep the candle neatly in place

The candle is now very secure but it is still easy to remove when you want to.
