Prayers for ukraine
About this design:
Just a memory wire bracelet that has colors and symbols of Ukraine that can be used around my prayer candle which is how I am using it right now .....our governor just said we will take refugees here and NY does already have a huge Ukrainian population in our area ...when things settle down I will visit the Ukrainian church in my area and give this to one of the refugee women maybe I will make some more kind of a welcome gift I guess ....I feel so helpless you know ?
Components:
Czech glass beads , silver charms , memory wireAdditional Images:

Olivia F says:This is beautiful and a very thoughtful idea. How did you get the memory wire bracelet to stay open/stretched apart like that?

Robin nursechick says:Kimberly, What an awesome way to use memory wire. It looks beautiful on your candle. And what a lovely idea to give some to the the women of the Ukrainian church. My heart is heavy for these people- and it is easy to feel helpless. I believe prayer works-we all need a lot of it! Thank you for sharing your prayer candle with us!

Fresh Baked says:What a lovely, thoughtful use for beads and wire. I can imagine so many other personalized candles as gifts for others. Pink for someone with breast cancer, for example.

K Ralston says:The prayer candle is striking. It’s wonderful of you to do something like this to inspire the Ukrainian women in your area. I’m sure many are worried about family members in the Ukraine. A beautiful light for dark times and a reminder to pray.

Kimberlywilliams60 says:Thank you ladies ….I am just so beside myself with all this …. I felt the need to do something with this nervous energy…. Olivia it is the type of candle that burns a sort of Chanel down the center instead of burning clean across so I just pressed the one end gently into the upper edge of the candle , FB , I LOVE the idea of doing these for the different causes …a pink one would be so Beautiful and may help someone struggling through treatments to feel a little better , KR , that is a wonderful idea they are truly suffering as well , melody sometimes when I am looking for a particular color or type of bead on etsy for bead weaving I will add beads to get free shipping and the triangles were one of those add in items ….I believe the shop was monkeyshine beads ?
