Tooling around Target yesterday, I saw a fish net nautical candle! Too cute! That’s when I remembered when I was organizing my crafty stuff I came across a piece of fish net fabric I used on a mural I painted some years back. I got all excited because I knew it would cost me nothing to make, here is my version above.
Targets version
Materials needed: Pillar candle, fish net, hot glue gun & glue, straight pins and scissors.
Cut the ends of the net so they are straight and even. Carefully pin the net on one edge of the candle. Roll the net and pin the net tight to the candle even with the other end of the net you just pinned. straighten maneuver and tighten the net to fit the candle. Trim the long end of the net even with the first pins. I left the bottom edge a little longer and pinned it to the bottom. ( This is because it is almost impossible to make both ends even on the edges). Trim top edge of net even with the edge of the candle. Hot glue the knots together on edges. Then hot glue the bottom nets and remove pins. That’s it, it cost me nothing and mine is more authentic than Target, theirs wasn’t a net it was a molded wax rope.
I made this cute Faux Geranium with a great jar, some filler rocks and a faux plant! Love it! Very simple and clean looking!
