On January 5, a workshop on making New Year's candle holders was held at the National Centre RUSSIA. The event took place in the foyer of the second floor of Pavilion 7, where attendees gathered to add coziness and beauty to their homes by creating a unique piece.

Participants glued a candle onto a special platform and then decorated it with various available materials. They could choose from beads, rhinestones, Christmas balls, pine branches, cones, and even walnuts.

"The assortment of decor offered to us amazed me. I did not expect to see so much beauty. We first attended a workshop on decorating mittens, and then decided to come here as well, and we did not regret it," said Svetlana, who came to the event with her daughter.

Participants could also tie the candle with wide gold and silver ribbons. Using narrow ribbons, they could attach various decorations. The workshop participants were shown reference photos to help them aim for the desired result. In the end, most preferred to decorate the platform with pine branches, while some adorned the candle with beads and cones.

"I attended an event at the National Centre from the Movement of the First, after which I learned about this workshop and decided to come here with my two grandchildren. We really enjoyed it, now this candle will complete the festive atmosphere at our home," noted Galina.

According to the organizers of the workshop, the handicraft can be used multiple times: when one candle burns down, it can easily be replaced with another without changing the structure.

The National Centre RUSSIA was established by order of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to preserve the legacy of the International RUSSIA EXPO and to showcase the achievements of the country and its citizens on a permanent basis. Federal government agencies, state companies, corporations, and regions take part in the Centre’s work.
