Using the tip of a scissor, cut a hole for the candle in the middle top of pie-shaped sponge piece. Paint the curve end and top of the piece and a second piece. Let dry. Glue pieces together. Glue to foamie circle. Spread some glue on the top and sprinkle with seed beads. Cut a candle in half. Glue it in the hole.
