Decoration Ideas!
A single votive candle burning behind the
glass panes of these lanterns gives off a soft, dreamy light, creating a setting of
ambiance when used as centerpiences at a wedding reception. Use one per table, or combine
in groups.
Frosted Votive Lanterns
For a truly unique centerpiece idea, create
enchanted worlds of light as the softness of pastels and the glimmer of metal come
together in candle sleeves and a runner of sheer metallic fabric. The little bags dress up
votives, while the sleek glass cylinders filled with water hold floating candles. The
runner makes a stunning backdrop for any celebratory centerpiece. Fill them with water and
floating candles, then veil them with the gossamer colors of our Iridescent Sleeves. By Illuminations.com

while being extremely easy to make!
Look for items that will fit into your container. Be creative and have some fun with this
craft! You can use almost anything that can be put into water. Check with your reception
venue prior to lighting the candles; some venues will not allow open flames. One nice
thing about this centerpiece is that even if you can't light the candle, it can still be
displayed beautifully! Your guests will definitely talk about this centerpiece!

SUPPLIES AND TOOLS NEEDED:
- Glass Cylinder
- Water (if using fresh items, such as vegetables, fruit, or flowers,
distilled water is best)
- Floating Candle
- Display Items of your choice
- Optional Items: Raffia, Ribbons, Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks,
E6000 Adhesive
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Start with a clean cylinder. When selecting your decorative
fillings, be sure to consider which items float. Things that float are great, but if the
items are made of Styrofoam, they may not allow themselves to be easily submerged. For
pieces that surface or bob to the top, it may be necessary to weight them down or wedge a
heavier item on top. On the other hand, if you have heavy items and want them suspended,
attach a length of nylon filament to them by typing or gluing. Bring the other end of the
fillament up over the side and glue to the outside of the cylinder approximately 2"
down. You can cover the glue later by covering it with ribbon.
- Use long handled tongs, a knitting needle or a skewer to move items
around in the water. The idea is to see as much of your display as possible. Tying raffia
or accent ribbon around your cylinder is really up to your personal taste. Some
arrangements look great without any added decoration. Remember when making your display
there is no right or wrong way!
ITEM IDEAS
Faux pearl strands (iridescent or colored), silk flowers (individual or small groupings),
silk greenery, artificial grapes, plastic ornaments, sea shells, colored rocks, plastic
garland, plastic eggs, seasonal ornaments, marbles, golf balls, golf tees, fresh fruit,
fresh vegetables, fresh flowers, and anything else you can think of!
HELPFUL TIPS AND IDEAS
- Use one or a grouping of heights of cylinders that best fit your
needs and appeals to your eye.
- Metal items may rust if left in the water for several days.
- If using fresh items, refridgerate when not in use.
