Star collars on caroling candles keep wax off hands; gold centerpiece ornaments reflect chafing-dish candles' gentle flames.
For materials, you'll need paper for pattern, medium-weight bristol board (preferably gold or silver), chafing-dish candies or caroling candles of your choice, and glitter.
With the craft knife, divide circle into sixteenths, as shown in drawing above right; push V-shaped prongs down, snipping points off for chafing-dish candle collars.
