Wire Votive

At last a new votive ;-))

 
    What you need:

  • a high drinking glass where a tealight easily fits in,
  • wire (I used plain garden wire) and
  • a tealight of course ;-)
 

That’s what you do:
First you bend a loop where the tealight will rest later on.
I made it here slightly triangular.

Then you bring the wire to a height of about the half or two thirds of the height of the tealight, put the tealight on the loop bent before and bent the wire once around the tealight.

You see that the tealight and the wire around it still fit in the glass.

Now you only have to bring the wire straight up and make a sharp bent to suspend the tealight at the rim of the glass.
Subsequently you can embellish the end. I only bent a spiral, but of course you can thread on beads or similar.
By the way, it’s best if you let the tealight ‘float’ a little bit above the ground.

So, the beautiful summer evenings may come now ;-)
