Candle Holders

I simply loved making these holders, experimenting with cotton threads, cords etc.  I found cotton threads to be the best.  It did involve lots of, had to stiffen the project, dry it and then stick on the crystals.

I did turn out to be quite cool.  I have written partial pattern for teal candle holder.  I say partial as the skirt of teal holder is from another blog.  Holder base is a handwritten drawing. Over here I have to say that I have no experience in writing patterns!
