Things You'll Need:
- White, 3-inch diameter candle
- 2 white, tall, thin candles
- Multiple heights of white, thick candles
- Hot glue gun
- Ribbon in 3 different colors
-
Step 1
Cut three 6-inch strips of ribbon. Two strips should be the same color. Cut the ends at an angle rather than straight across.
-
Step 2
Tie each ribbon in a bow around the 3-inch diameter white candle. The colors should alternate. Make sure the ribbons are separated by about 1 inch.
-
Step 3
Put a dot of glue behind the bows with a hot glue gun and secure them to the unity candle. Allow it to dry.
-
Step 4
Cut two more 6-inch pieces of ribbon in the same color that you used for the middle ribbon on the unity candle.
-
Step 5
Tie the ribbon in a bow around the small candles. You may need to trim the ribbon if it is too long. There should be about 1 inch hanging down from the bow.
-
Step 6
Place a dot of glue behind the bows to secure them and allow them to dry.
-
Step 1
Measure the width of the various heights of candles. Cut all three colors of ribbon in lengths that are slightly longer than the width of the candle.
-
Step 2
Use one strip of ribbon in each color and wrap it around the base of a candle about 2 or 3 inches from the top, in a layered look. You can arrange them to touch each other to look like one thick ribbon or you can space them 1/2 inch apart.
-
Step 3
Secure the ends together by putting a drop of glue on one end of the ribbon and pressing the other end into the glue. Allow them to dry.
