15984 Bubble Bowl 4.5”
13267 Pin holders
10620 Fix Adhesive Tack, Mini

Method:
As you can see we’ve used a 4.5” Bubble Bowl and an Ivory Taper candle (Red Taper candles also look stunning in this arrangement.)First push a small plastic Pin Holder into a Gold Berry Candle Ring, and then secure this piece to the base of the bowl using a small piece of Fix Adhesive Tack. Place another small piece of Fix Adhesive Tack onto the bottom of the candle and then push the candle through the Candle Ring foliage onto the base of the Bubble Bowl. Ensure the candle sits upright. Voila this create is now complete.

Bubble Bowl Surprise

Our customers often ask us for new ideas to use with their regular stock: So we were pleased to discover that by placing a Kensington Posy Vase inside the 9.5” Bubble Bowl you can then add a different dimension to the Bowl.

We’ve used Crystal Accents to surround the Vase, but you could try using water (clear or coloured) or Marbles, Coloured Sand, Dew Drops etc. And of course the choice of flowers that you can use is endless!

Glass Vases Used: 9.5” Bubble Bowl, Kensington Posy Vase
