Get sawing
First start by clamping the largest wooden balls to the workbench with screw clamps so they are secure. The cut into the wooden balls so that you flatten them, these balls will be the cnadle holders. Don't forget to wear protective goggles.
Get a smooth finish
To ensure a smooth finish after sawing the wooden balls, use a cordless multi-sander to sand down the the sawn area. Make sure to wear protective goggles to protect your eyes from sanding dust.
Drill the holes for the candles
Use a bench drill or a cordless drill to drill holes into the woodden balls to create the candle holder. Secure the woodedn balls with the flat surface down. Make sure to drill about 2mm deeper than the candlesticks length to ensure they can stand in the holders.
With a brush and some paint in the colour of your choice, paint the wooden balls to add a touch of colour to your circular wreath.
Attach the candle holders to the wooden balls
Now glue in the candlestick holders into the drilled holes using a hot glue gun. Be careful not over-apply the glue.
Making the wreath
To make the wreath, thread the remaining smaller wooden balls with the larger wooden balls at regular intervals with some string into a circle. When the circle is complete, tie a knot in the string to secure. Now your wreath is complete, just the add the candles.
