Original candlestick made of cones

Pine cones are not only a beautiful decoration for everyone's favorite tree, but also a wonderful material for creating magnificent products. Especially popular are self-made candlesticks made of pine cones, because they help bring comfort to the home, as well as fill the house with fabulous flickering candles.

Holiday every day

Most often crafts made of natural material, made of cones, make for the arrival of the New Year and Christmas, and after the holidays are simply removed to collect dust until next year. But such a thing as a candlestick can be useful all year round. It all depends on the way the product is decorated. If you apply sparkles and shimmering beads, then the "house" for candles will look festive and in winter fabulous. And if, for example, cones combine with sea stones, coffee beans or even with cinnamon sticks, the candlestick will acquire a completely different appearance, more casual, but romantic at the same time.

The most important requirement in the creation of all types of candlesticks is their production of non-combustible materials. Also, they should not be too cumbersome, otherwise the appearance and functionality of the products will be lost. But this applies only to portable candlesticks, and if they are stationary, then the use of large compositions is allowed.

Fantastic atmosphere

In order to create a beautiful candlestick made of cones for the New Year, you do not need to be an artist or a great master. It is only necessary to show a little imagination and use the necessary materials. A very interesting idea is the production of such hand-made articles without the use of additional details of the decor. To do this, it is necessary to drill a small hole in the cone in the shape of a candle, but it must be done carefully, so that the material does not crumble. As an ornament, you can use golden or silver paint, as well as sequins of any color. To the candlestick was stable, the bottom of the cone should be glued a small round saw from the tree. In the end, having performed all the actions correctly, we get the original candlestick, as in the photo below.

Such a candlestick made of cones is good not only for its appearance, but also for its multifunctionality. Because it can be used both in one copy, and form different compositions. Very popular are single "fireflies" when decorating a festive table. To add this kind of candlesticks of greater originality, they can be painted in different colors and covered with sequins.

Iridescent Magic

Fans of unique and bright things will come up with a candlestick made of cones, which will require the entire palette of colors.

Then you need to take a large plate and start gluing bumps to it, imitating the mountain. Painted parts must be glued in such a way that neither the plate nor the voids between the cones can be seen. When forming a candlestick on the top of the hill, you need to make several holes - they serve as candle holders.

In this handcraft, long and narrow candles of different colors will look best. If desired, the composition can be sprinkled with varnish with sparkles or glued small pearl beads. The candlestick created in this way is suitable for decoration of a festive table or it will become an excellent detail of the decor of the room as a whole.
