Ribbon Candle Rings

I didn't have any candle rings or bobeches 

to match my new red, white and blue summer

 all-American decor...so I made some.

These are mini wreaths made with things I had on hand:

 wire clothes hanger and a few scraps of ribbon.

 Cut the hanger into about 4" pieces and 

shape into a circle.

It will give you a circle of about 1"D....

(pi x D) if you're a 'math genius' or 

married to one.

Conversation goes like this:

math genius: how big do you want the circle?

me: about this big (holding up a bobeche).

math genius: to get a 1-1/4"D circle I'll

 need to cut a 4"piece, 

pi=3.1416 x diameter desired.

me: fine (yikes!)

 Anyway....back to the fun part. 

I cut lots of ribbon onto small pieces. 

I just eyeballed it here. 

If the ribbon is too wide I cut it in half lengthwise. 

 Then I just tied them on

 until it was nice and full.

 randomly!

 Here they are decorating the base of my

 candles. Very festive.

This is the counter tray vignette for summer....

very patriotic!

Cheers!
