BESPOKE CANDLE HOLDERS

Update ordinary pillar candles by setting them in painted or paper-covered terracotta pots filled with sand for stability. Top the sand with a ring of florist’s foam and dress them to impress with sprigs of foraged seasonal foliage, such as ivy, holly and mistletoe berries. Arrange in groups on a tray scattered with leftover baubles for a stunning side table decoration.
