Open a new canvas 400x400 (I like to have lots of room to work
on).
Using the Outline Drawing Tool with Custom Shape - Heart; Colour

Use the Path Drawing Tool with Custom Shape - Decoration 3; Colour
black; Mode 3D; Border 3; Depth 30; draw the shape on your canvas.
This is going to go as a decorative piece both towards the top
and the lower part of your candle holder, so it doesn't need to
be too big. Click on Object/Convert Object Type and then on From
Text/Path to Image. Erase the lower part of Decoration 3, we won't
be needing that bit.

enough to formulate the loop at the top of your candle holder.
Click on the Transform Tool and then on the perspective button,
pull out the top of your ellipse outline to give it more of a
tear drop look.

of 3 and a depth of 30; select Custom Shape - Round Shape 4 and

To make the candles use the Path Drawing Tool with a Rectangle
Shape; any colour you wish; Mode 3D: Border 7: Depth 30; draw
a Rectangle and then click on Object/Convert Object Type and select

look to be.

it slightly. Place the flame on top of your rectangle. Hold down

Duplicate the candle twice and place each one in the cup holders.
Finally draw a small black 3D ellipse shape and place it below
the middle candle cup base. Select all Objects, Merge as a Single
Object and your wrought iron candle holder is finished and ready
to hang on a wall.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial :-)
