Here is my first candle - I learned that peralized candles do not do too well with these. LOL I chose Ms Veronika's Christmas border to stich and attach to the candle. Had I gone with a smaller candle it would have gone all the way around it, but I wanted to do this as a gift, and had a larger one. I stitched on tulle, which did not work well for me. I think I will do the next one on organze. But, I had the roll of tulle left from GS's wedding in July. We all learn as we sew. If any of you have border designs these would do well for these candles.
