Today, I'm going to show you how to enhance your decorative space with a lovely unique candleholder craft idea! A beaded wire floral candleholder! Made in the shape of flower petals surrounded by purple beads that look like pearls around the top of a DollarTree candleholder! It's surely a great embellishment to make for home decor! One with a color changing feature that's perfect for adding a vibrant look and touch to your color scheme - inside or out! And the best part, it's a super fun project to create - so gather the supplies listed and let's get started!

How To:
Start by cutting the wire 24" long. Because the wire is a thin 26 gauge from DollarTree, I'm folding the wire in half to make it stronger to thread the beads onto it.

 It's easier to put the beads in a plastic bowl and gather them up from there - counting out 29 beads per petal.
Once you have 29 beads on the wire, fold it in half in the shape of a flower petal, twisting the ends together to close using needle nose pliers.
For this project, you will need to make 16 beaded petals. 

Once all the petals are made, begin adding glue along one side of the beads (one petal at a time) .  .  .


and press each one down on top of the clear plastic film to dry. You may have to lay a heavy flat surface on top to make sure the beads are completely adhering to the plastic while drying. Not shown: I used a large cutting board placed on top of the petals that was weighted down with a huge book until dry.

Once the petals were dry, the clear plastic was cut off around the outside of the beaded petals.
 Then give the petals a bit of curvature by slightly bending!  
Measure the petal's wire on the side edge of the candleholder and cut off excess wire using wire cutters. Then begin gluing the petals onto the candleholder in a clockwise positions using hot glue first - 

pressing the petal wire into the hot glue. Once the hot glue has dried, use a more reliable, permanent glue like Quick Hold glue by the makers of E6000 to hold the petals in place. Take my word that hot glue Will NOT hold the petals in place for any length of time. They will fall off if a permanent type holding glue is not used.

Continue adding the petals onto the side of the candleholder using clockwise positions 12, 6 .  .  .

3 and .  .  .
9 positions.

Plus the remaining clock positions of 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 and in between too, for a cool open petals or flower look!

Once done, cover the petal stem wires with double-sided tape around the side of the candleholder.


A decorative purple and gold trim was added to cover the double sided tape.
What a gorgeous look!
With the colorful flameless tealight in place!
Giving off beautiful colors .  .  .

You know I'm especially loving this in purple!

I hope you enjoyed how I made this beautiful beaded wire floral candleholder!
