Hello this is Jenny with simple beautiful crafts on behalf of expertvillage.com. If you love candles as much as I do you would probably have a lot of candles lying around or sitting on shelfs and pull them out on occasion and use them. Well I was looking at some of my candles and I thought how can I get them candles out of the pan tree and on to the display some how and I thought of again of my copper wire basket. So I pull out some of my candles and I thought you know you can do a variety of different things with them. You can change them for the seasons and you can display them along with some artificial flowers. So I just put a candle in the basket and I put a variety of sizes and then I thought well I can put a Christmas pick in this one and that will give it a kind of that feeling of Christmas or winter or I can take the Christmas look out and I can put in more of a spring collection of candles and put in a different pick that kind of have a springy effect to it or you can even take some potpourri. Take it apart and open it up and put some of the potpourri pieces that wouldn't fall through your wire frame in with your candles. That way your candles can be on display throughout the year and you can change them with the season and you still have a shadow box to hang on your wall with a variety of candles in it and that is what I would do with this copper wire basket to make it a candle shadow box.
