Centerpiece


Christmas Centerpiece
I bought an inexpensive red candle, and glass vase.  I Rubbed Mod Podge on the candle and rolled the candle in Epson salts. When it dried I added more Epson salts to glass vase and placed candle inside. To finish the centerpiece I wrapped bakers twine around the glass, and added glitter snowflakes with pop dots.
I can’t wait to set this on my table for Christmas dinner.
