These candles have turned our heads! Twisted candles are currently very trendy and an absolute must-have for home decoration. Learn in this tutorial how easy it is to twist candles yourself and bring the decoration trend into your home.

Twisted candles:

1. Pour hot but not boiling water into a suitable container and place the candle upside down in it. Caution: If the water is too hot, the candle may melt.

2. After about 10 minutes, the candle should be soft enough. If the candle is still too hard, add more hot water and wait again.

3. When the candle is soft enough, you can roll it a little flat with a rolling pin or acrylic roller. Leave out the ends.

4. Take the flattened candle in both hands and turn it in the opposite direction to create the twist.

5. Check that the candle is straight. Then leave to cool.

Decorate the candle holder:

1. Cut Décopatch paper, coat a candle holder with Patch Glue and place the paper. Brush over again with the glue.

2. Fix the eucalyptus leaves to the candle holder with hot glue and attach a satin ribbon.

3. Finally, decorate the finished candles with candle liners.
