"My name is Judy Williams representing expertvillage.com, and today we are talking about different ways to decorate your dining room. This arrangement could be used just as it is, but I wanted to add more depth and texture and color and I wanted to be lighted. So I have taken some candles from around the house and added some red candles. You will notice on this one I have this glow. Now this, when the candles burn, it may put wax on my table, so I'll tell you what I did. I just took a regular inexpensive candle holder. This will add height and protection for my tablecloth. Again I wanted a little height, so I'm layering that. So this candle you will notice that it has a little glitter. I just sprayed gold glitter on that. On this side I'm adding another candelabra, and you notice that I'm adding a very tall candle so it balances with the trees that are here. Again you will see this circular shape, it is almost like a backwards 'S.' And to the front of this I will add another candle. I like for things to be melted down a little bit whether if I have used them or not to appear that they have been used. "
