I used small pillar candles and pressed flowers, ferns and leaves from my garden. The 6 inch candles were about $3 each and the pressed flowers were free.

Arrange the foliage in a pleasing pattern and fasten to the candle using a bit of white glue such as Elmer's glue to hold it in place.

Melt paraffin in the top of a double boiler or in any pan set in boiling water. The candle is then dipped in melted paraffin which coats the candle with a thin wax coating and seals in the foliage.
