Those who are energetic and pay attention to the meaning of things should prepare a wreath. It symbolizes the cycle of life, the beginning and end of the year, and should be decorated in green or purple. Each candle has a different meaning and should be lit counterclockwise. The youngest child should light the first candle, the eldest should light the second, the mother should light the third and the father of the family should light the last. If you don\\’t follow this to the letter, nothing will happen. But the fact is that Advent is a season of hope and faith, so you certainly won\\’t go wrong if you make a wish while lighting a candle.To make a wreath, you need a polystyrene or straw body, candle spikes, candles, conifer branches or eucalyptus, various dried twigs and ornaments to suit your taste. You can find inspiration in shops or on the internet. First you need to prepare the twigs, which should be the same length. If you want a modern wreath, you should also add dried fruits or eucalyptus to each twig. You will add everything regularly to the body and fasten it firmly with wire. Once you have the entire body covered with twigs, you can cut and twist the wire to keep it from unraveling. Then add the candles.CarefullyYou can attach long and thincandles to the candles using special spikes, or you can use a wider wire that you cut to the length you need and heat. Once it is hot enough, insert it into the candle. You have to do the same with wide candles, because if you try to force the candle through, it will probably burst. Then just use florist\\’s clips or a hot glue gun to stick the decorations on. Often flasks, various wooden or dried ornaments are used. Don\\’t you want a wreath? Decorate a tray. It\\’s simple and just as pretty. For added effect, you can decorate the tray or outside with flashlight lights that you can cleverly hide.
