How is this candle holder designed?
It is a hanging macrame piece with five knotted pockets set at staggered heights, each made to hold a glass. Knotted triangles and loops link the pockets, and long tassel ends hang below, so it looks like a wall hanging even when the candles are not lit.
What size glass fits in the pockets?
Each of the five pockets is made for a 3-inch round glass. Choose straight-sided glass votives or small tumblers of that diameter so they sit snugly in the knotted pockets.
Do the glasses and candles come with it?
No, the glasses and candles are not included. You get the knotted macrame holder with its five pockets. Add your own 3-inch round glasses with tea lights or small candles, or use LED candles if you want the glow without a live flame.
How big and heavy is it?
The holder measures 20 x 32 inches and weighs about 500 grams on its own. It is knotted from 4 mm pure cotton cord, so it is light to hang, but account for the weight of five filled glasses when you choose your hook or nail.
Can I use real candles in it?
You can, with care. Keep each flame well inside its glass, pick glasses tall enough that the flame stays below the rim, and never leave lit candles unattended. Because the holder is made of cotton cord, LED tea lights are the easier choice for long evenings.
Where can I hang it?
On a covered balcony wall, above a dining sideboard, beside a seating corner or in an entrance. With candles or fairy lights in the glasses it makes a warm evening feature, and with the glasses empty it works as a textured wall hanging. It also makes a thoughtful gift.
How do I clean it?
Take the glasses out first, then spot clean the cord with a damp cloth and a little mild detergent. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the washing machine. Let it air dry completely before you put the glasses back.
