Those same inexpensive candlesticks that make a big impact as a collection, also are great for holding Christmas finials.

Supplies:

• crystal or glass candlestick -- this was purchased for a $3. at a garage sale.
• dowel road -- 1/2" wide.
• ribbon for bow
• hot glue gun
• finial

Slowly add hot glue into the hole on the candlestick, put in dowel rod and add more glue slowly. Make sure rod stands perfectly straight.

You might have to hold it for a few moments as the glue sets. When glue is completely dry, test the rod to make sure it will not move. Carefully put finial on the rod and be sure it fits securely, but not tight enough that it might break the glass.
Add a big bow and you're finished.

Tips and Hints

• Carefully measure dowel rod and cut to fit. It doesn't have to fit all way to the top of the finial.
• The top of the candlestick should be flat so the finial sits straight.
