Memorial Candle

I saw a pin on pinterest awhile back of a DIY memorial candle. I really loved the way it turned out. I, however, didn't want to find branches or twigs to trim down (and I didn't want to buy any either). They also didn't really go into the how to of making the candle holder. I decided to do a Google search, and I found this post of how to do it step-by-step. I have been wanting to make this candle holder to honor my Mom for awhile now. I decided to do a test run using the steps that I found. I didn't do any ribbon or trinket yet like she did, but just wanted to see how it turned out. I had some lower quality images so I couldn't blow out to any great proportion, so I decided to do a few different square pictures on each side of the holder. I like the overall look, though, I am not sure if I had too much mod podge in places, or if I was to close when I sprayed on the sealer, but you can tell that the lighting is weird in a couple places - even more noticeable when the candle is lit.

Here are my test run photos:
