	Contemporary Candelabra "Rather than creating a traditional candelabra spray, where all flowers flow from the center, I wanted to try something new and completely uncommon!" Michelle commented. "For this design, I selected the BRAVO® Holder and added just a touch of creativity to come up with this unique way to adorn a candelabra. Using the BRAVO Holder as the base for this design is so simple and yet, so unique," she continued. "The BRAVO Holder is far more versatile than most floral designers may think. The horizontal style of this design could make a stunning bridesmaid bouquet. And, only a BRAVO Holder will let you create that look!" Michell commented. "BRAVO Holders can also be used as complete customized table ceterpieces. Simply seal off the bottom of the holder with hot-melt glue and add paint or some other decorative treatment to the urethane shell. Then, soak the foam and add flowers!" In this step-by-step, Michelle shows you how to create a beautiful and unique candelabra design using a popular OASIS product, in a non-traditional application. Materials needed: Large BRAVO® Holder* with OASIS® Floral Foam OASIS Hot Melt Glue Gold Floral Spray Paint Ribbon Hyacinth Stake 3" Wood Pick 6" Straw Wire Decorative Beads or Gems Flowers and foliage of your choice
	How to put it together
	Add texture to the urethane shell of the BRAVO Holder by drizzling hot-melt glue on the shell. Turn the holder as you drizzle to add texture to the entire holder. Once the glue has dried, spray the holder with gold floral spray paint. Let dry.
	Float soak the BRAVO Holder in a mixture of CLEAR SOLUTION™ Nutrient and water. Do not force the holder into the nutrient solution. Insert a 6" straw into the foam near an edge of the urethane shell. Push the straw until it extends out the other end of the foam.
	Thread the ribbon through to the other end of the straw using a hyacinth stake. Tie knots at both ends of the ribbon to prevent the ribbon from sliding back and forth through the straw.
	Thread decorative beads or gems onto a strand of wire. Secure one end of the wire to a wood pick and insert into the foam. Wrap the shell with the strand of gems. Secure the end of the wire into the wood pick that is already in the foam.
	Add your choice of flowers and foliage. Attach the BRAVO Holder to the candelabra. You may also decorate a door by hanging from a wreath hanger.
