Instructions
Note: Candleholders are for decorative use only.
1. Wax serrated knife with candle stub or paraffin. Cut 1-1/2" from tip of each foam cone. Cut small hole into center of flat tip, just large enough for base of taper candle. Twist candles into holders and remove.

2. Spray foam cone with adhesive, working on small sections at a time; cover with moss, leaving cone base exposed. Let dry completely.

3. If a brighter green is preferred, spray paint moss-covered cones with two to three coats of paint; let dry.
4. Glue candles into tops of cones. Glue bits of moss around base to hide exposed glue or foam.
