Candleholder

1. Cut a slice off of a foam ball; this will provide a base for the candleholder (figure B).

2. Set the ball on its newly cut base and check to make sure the base is stable. Hold the candle on top of the ball and trace around the outside of the candle (figure C).

5. Remove the candle and glue on beans (see directions above).

6. Place a piece of felt over the (bean-free) base of the ball. Cut around the felt until it fits over the base of the ball (figure F).

7. Using tacky glue, glue the felt down over the base. Felt will prevent the foam from possibly scratching a table surface.

8. Stick pieces of cloves in spaces between beans to add fragrance (figure G).

9. Place the candle in the candleholder (figure H).
