  • about 80 different beads
  • a roll of lacquered wire (0.5 mm)
  • Knitting needles (strength 4, 5)
  • Glass
  • Candle (about 7 cm high)

How to do it:

1. Thread the beads at the beginning of the wire roll as desired. With this end of the wire (depending on the circumference of the glass) take about 25 air mesh. It is knitted on the right, from the fourth stitch is picked up and knitted bead by bead at irregular intervals. Continue in this procedure, depending on the size of the glass, until the desired height is achieved.

2. Remove the knitting needles and fold the stitches of the two long sides of the resulting rectangle with a piece of wire.

3. On one end side of the wire cylinder, knot two struts of wire in a cross shape. This wire cross serves as a base for the filled with a candle glass jar, which is now inserted.

4. Form a wire from wire and knot it to the top of the cylinder.
