You will need:
- Mounting putty or thumbtacks
- Fishing wire
- Flameless taper candles (we recommend our Infinity Wick 9" Taper Candles)
Instructions:
Step 1: Cut several long pieces of fishing wire. We recommend cutting varying lengths (anywhere from 8 to 18 inches) for extra dimension!
Step 2: Take a piece of fishing wire and tie one end around a candle. We recommend tying it around the base of the flame for extra security!
Step 3: Secure the other end of the fishing wire to your ceiling using the mounting putty or thumbtacks
