5-Minute Fabric Decorating Tips for Unlit Fireplace Candelabra
Who doesn't appreciate flickering flames in a fireplace? For those who don't have the inclination or time for burning firewood in their fireplace, fireplace candelabra are the obvious answer. They provide that special glow without the hassle or, in warm weather, the heat. But how do you keep those fireplace candelabra worthy of the visual focal point of your home even for those times when you haven't lit the candles?Even without burning candles, decorators have their tricks for using fireplace candelabra as foundations for eye-appealing displays in the fireplace. Here are three of their super quick and inexpensive techniques using fabric that you can try:1. Heavy FabricUse a full-bodied fabric, such as tapestry, brocade, or velvet, which coordinates with the colors and style of your room.
Casually interweave the fabric among the "arms" of your fireplace candelabra, leaving dramatic folds of fabric spilling onto the inner hearth and over parts of the candelabra. Tuck in the ends, out of sight. Now, replace those candles, but don't, of course, light them as long as the fabric is in your hearth.2. Lace or Sheer FabricFor a different, but equally appealing look, use a sheer fabric, such as chiffon or lace. Give it the same treatment as above, with visually interesting draping and folds of the material.
This lighter, airier treatment is more appropriate for some rooms.3. Tassel MagicAt your local fabric store, find three to five inch long tassels in a color, or a mixture of colors, to highlight your room and the metal of your fireplace candelabra. Buy a tassel and a few inches of coordinating cording for each candle on your fireplace candelabra. Cut the cord into lengths a bit longer than the circumference of each candle. Either by sewing or by using your glue gun, make a circle of each piece of cording and attach a tassel where you join the ends of the cording.
Each circle of cording should be big enough to easily slide onto a candle, down to its base.Slip each cording-with-tassel circle over a different candle on your fireplace candelabra. Adjust the tassels so they are hanging over the edge of the candle cups, facing into the room. These tassels so beautifully accessorize the candles of your fireplace candelabra, you may be tempted to leave them when you light the candles, but please don't. Remove them before lighting your candles and save them to put back on when you blow the candles out at the end of the evening.A bit of fabric dramatically posed or some tassels elegantly dangling from your fireplace candelabra can be so charming, your fireplace candelabra can rightfully maintain the place of honor in your room's natural focal point, the fireplace, even when its candles aren't aglow..

by
? 2003http://www.copywritingcourse.comI've always loved scented candles. They help create a cozy atmosphere. They give you a relaxed feeling. And - most importantly - they make your home smell wonderful! So, naturally, I was excited when I was approached to rewrite the index (front) page for an online retailer who made specialty, soy scented candles.The goals of the copywriting rewrite were to increase sales and improve search engine positioning for the terms "soy candles," and "scented candles." The copy definitely needed some work. It wasn't "bad," but it had one major thing holding it back.
The copy violated one of the primary rules of copywriting. "It's not about you? it's about them."An additional problem was that the information - while definitely necessary - was presented as more of a list of nuts and bolts. It needed a boost to create a "feeling" about the candles for sale.The ProblemAs you can see from the original version, http://www.copywritingcourse.com/IlluminousTimes-BEFORE.doc,...

Evoking The Right Moods With Aromatherapy Candles
For your wedding anniversary this time, you planned a lovely evening, complete with a sumptuous dinner by the candle light. Though everything went right according to your plans, it were the candles that spoiled the evening. First, the table got all dirty with burnt wax all over it. Second, the soot and smoke marred the romantic atmosphere.
The ordinary candles that we get in the market are made out of paraffin. Paraffin is a petroleum-based product and thus results in more soot and smoke when the candle is burnt.
So, if you are using these candles, be prepared for the unclean burning. However, if you want to avoid these, go for aromatherapy candles.
Aromatherapy candles are made from essential oils of plants. And lighting the room is only a secondary feature of these candles; the primary use is in stimulating oneself physiologically and therapeutically. It is well known that aromas and fragrances are effective for evoking mood and emotions. So if...
