"Pillar Candle Holder/Decoration" by Roger aka Freedman © 11-22-2005. http://groups.msn.com/TheSocialShuttle 
"Pillar Candle Holder" is for decoration purposes only. Please do not burn a candle while using this decoration. Remove decoration and place candle in a proper holder to burn.

This decoration is made in a 3D effect and with a size # 20 thread DMC Cébélia White. But would look great in any color of choice. It originally started out as a 3D snowflake so it does have six (6) points around.
The candle should measure 3" across the top and 9 ½ around / 7cm - 24cm. The height you use is up to you.

This shows how the Holder/Decoration can be layered out and shaped. You can also leave the top up closer to the candle if desired. The bottom can also lay flat on the table if desired, or if you have something clear to place in the holder you can set the candle on it so it raises it up.
NOTE: As I said before this is for decoration only, and the candle should be removed and placed on a proper candle holder if burning.
