Glass Hurricane

NickNack — Fri, 12 Feb 2021 20:47:47 GMT

What can I put in a glass hurricane that has a Luminara candle in it? I was thinking about buying a eucalyptus leaf vine and cutting it to fit. I'm attaching a picture of my hurricane and a possible vine (eucalyptus willow).

@NickNack

In a Valerie lantern I've put a Valerie faux eucalyptus candle ring, she had the idea on some forum, maybe facebook.

May I say snuggie, snuggie to Beautiful Henry!

And I hope Eva is doing well.

I do like the eucalyptus, you also might like white and green variegated ivy, I'm partial to varigated ivy.

Please share where you found this eucalyptus, I'm looking for some pieces for an arrangement, and this looks to be much better quality than I've found.

@Drythe I found the garland on Amazon. This is how it's listed:

IFLOVE 6.5 ft. Artificial Eucalyptus Willow Garland Hanging Greenery Vines for Wedding Decorations Indoor Outdoor Backdrop Arch Wall Home Decor

Ava is doing really well. After throwing up in the morning for a few days and throwing up eight times one day I decided to just buy her some prescription z/d. I gave it to her last night, and she didn't throw up in the middle of the night like she usually does. I gave it to her this morning and she didn't throw up her breakfast like she did yesterday. It looks like I'm going to have to stick with the prescription diet, which I will do.

LOL! My eyes are playing tricks on me!

When I first saw the pic, I thought what is she taking about, that's not eucalypus in the hurricane, that's HENRY!

@rockygems123 I very much like the way your lantern looks with the candle ring. A candle ring is what I was originally looking for, but I would need one that can go around a 3.75" candle. The ones I found that would do that seemed too wide overall. I'll look some more now that I've seen yours.

I like colored glass stones.

@NickNack Your idea would be pretty but keep it simple not stuffing it. I love the kitty cat looking out the window. Love those kitty cats.

@Katcat1 Yes, if I bought a garland I would cut it down and wouldn't stuff the hurricane.

Thanks for the compliment on my cat, Henry. I have to have a spot on the table for him so he can look out the window at the birds!

@NickNack It's amazing how we love our cats (Henry). I don't mean to tell you how to display your hurricane. Sometimes I word things to quickly. I know it will be lovely when you finish. Take care.

I didn't take any offense to what you said @Katcat1 . It was good advice!

@NickNack

I looked at my order and the rings have a 4" inner opening, and they're sold out. Maybe Hobby Lobby? Also the look is good with these rings from a distance or behind glass, close-up they aren't a great faux eucalyptus.

This was my first thought - Dollar Tree - hard to beat $1 -

I'm addicted to filler right now.

I don't always put the candle in. Sometimes I use fairy lights and sometimes no light at all.

I bought a ton of Scrabble tiles off Etsy and will be switching mine out this weekend.

Right now I have twigs for winter.

I think these might be in the wrong place? Isn't this TV and Movies? I thought it was?

@Annabellethecat66 No, this is the Home forum, which is where it belongs.

How about:

clear color glass marbles,

small pine cones,

small shells,

large scallop shells placed standing against base of candle,

cranberry wreath cut into sections,

mini rabbits on Easter grass,

baby birds nestled on leaves

Salt is pretty and inexpensive. I also have used potpourri.

Edited to add: Just a few inches of either.

The vine looks nice. I also like pebbles, seashells, tumbled craft glass in colors.
