Thread: How do u arrange your candles?

Hi everyone' I;ve been looking at other post 'to do with how to stick candles on a tray so they dont fall off'but what i would like to know do u have to space the candles out or do they all sit mostley in the middle of the tray;to help with balance whats the go with this please? thanks stef.

I always just spread my candles around on the tray evenly to help with balance and glue them to it with hot glue. (you can use any glue, but hot glue is very quick).

The more you put closer the edges the harder it will be to balance them, so in the beginning don't put them that far out, keep them closer to the middle. Also step back and look at them to see if they do look nice from a distance, most candles should be visibble, instead of blocking each other. You can also put a bigger, wider, taller candle in the middle.

Hope this helps.

If you are doing electric votives in holders, you can do 6 or so evenly spaced along the outside of the tray - about 2" in - and one raised on in the center. then if you are feeling like it, you can cover the rest of the tray with flowers.

And yes, you can use some sticky stuff to attach the votives to the tray.
