Materials:
- 5″ Wood Circle
- 7mm Rope
- Hot Glue Gun (low heat) & Glue
- 25mm Wood Beads
- Flameless Candle (I use this flameless candle hack)
- Dried Flowers
Instructions:
1. First, hot glue the rope to the base of the wood circle and cut off the excess.
2. Repeat the above step twice more to create 3 rows of rope.
3. Next, hot glue the wood beads around the top circumference of the wood circle near the top edge of the rope.
4. Add dried flowers or faux flowers to each wood bead.
5. Place a flameless candle in the center.
Tip: Using a flameless candle keeps the beads and dried flowers safe from heat. If you choose a real candle, never leave it unattended and keep flame away from dried decorations.
Enjoy your new DIY decor!
