Autumn Decor

Twig Candle Votive

These are simple to make but look really rustic and seasonal on display.

Materials
Twigs (ranging in thickness from toothpick to pencil)
Short glasses
Hot Glue
Hot Glue Gun
Pruning Sheers

Fit the sticks dry, roughly measure the length you would like and cut twigs of different thickness.

Using hot glue place a dot of glue about 1/4" down from the top of the glass and a dot of glue about 1/4" above the bottom of the glass.  

For aesthetics I kept the thicker sticks close to the height of the glass, the thinnest sticks with delicate ends I kept longer.

Continue working around the glass.  Two dots of glue per stick, covering the glass as much as possible.

I finished the project off with some battery operated tea lights.  Gorgeous!
