How do you decorate a candelabra for Christmas?
In order to decorate a candelabra for Christmas, you need to first fill the central candle holder with a foam core—a fresh floral bouquet holder will work well. Stick the central candle into the foam core, shaving a bit off the bottom, if needed to make sure it’s embedded enough to not wiggle around. Around the base of the candle insert flowers and greenery that have been wired with floral wire. Leaves such as magnolia, cedar, boxwood, and pine can be used to both a filling and draping effect. For a less traditional take, eucalyptus or olive branch could also be used.Accent with clipped snippets of red berries or metallic or velvet ribbon. For a simpler take on the Christmas candelabra, simply wire small boughs of pine or berries around the arms of a candelabra. Rather than standard green floral wire, you may want to adopt gold or silver floral wire for this project to ensure everything maintains a sleek look.
