How to put it together

  1. Take a 3cm piece of OASIS Fix and apply it on the flat side of the OASIS Pini.*
  1. By slightly heating the applied OASIS Fix above a candle flame, you will significantly increase the adhesive power of OASIS Fix. As always, please use caution when working with fire. (Since most candles are colored by a coating, it is recommended you remove the colored wax on the bottom of the candle before applying OASIS Fix.)
  1. Position the candles first, in order to save materials as the design takes shape. Using the Taxus Baccata and Hydrangea, cover the remaining exposed foam base.
  1. Step up this arrangement by adding a variety of colorful accessories, such as fabric stars, fruit and berries, and winding gold wire throughout the design.

Features & Benefits

  • The NAYLORBASE Ring has a reservoir to hold water longer, keeping your arrangement fresher longer.

  • The OASIS Pini-Extra, in combination with the OASIS Fix, guarantees an easy and quick way to secure the candles.

  • OASIS Spray Color is gentle to the floral elements, dries quickly, and provides uniform color.
