Organize Embellishments
We cut up the faux mistletoe so we had smaller pieces to work with.

Set Up a Work Station
Make sure to protect the surface you are working on. We placed a towel down and used a baking sheet as a tray. We also covered the base the candles came in with foil to prop up the candle. Then, you can plug in your heat gun!

Add Embellishments
Press in one embellishment at a time. Reheat areas as needed to make sure it’s secure and be patient! Hold the heat far enough away from the piece to avoid burning.
