Candlelight Rose Craft Project
Date Submitted: August 20, 2007
Romanticize your home with blushing pink roses aglow with soft candlelight. Glue the "he loves me, he loves me not" petals on inexpensive votive candle holders to create blooming beauties that don't need pruning. Several lighted throughout the dining room will create an amorous atmosphere for a romantic dinner just for two! 
Materials:
- Roundish shaped votive candle holder
- Large silk rose and leaves
- Votive candle
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
Remove rose from stem and separate petals. Cut petals apart and sort according to size.
Begin at top of glass to glue smallest petals around candle holder with tips extending just above rim and petals slightly overlapping.
Note: Glue base of petals only letting tips curl outward. Continue to glue rows of graduated-size petals to cover glass with tips of petals centered between two petals in prior row.
Cut and glue a small circle from a rose petal to cover bottom, then glue calyx over circle.
To finish, refer to the photo to arrange and glue leaves around bottom of candle holder.
