when the henna on the candle is dry.in a small container,take some glue wt little amount of water.don't make it too watery,it should be a thick mixture of water n glue.

apply the mixture on the henna with a paint brush.don't apply it in a up and down movement.just keep drops of mixture on henna,and it will absorb.apply it only on the henna on on the candle.as shown in the pic and let it dry.keep it on a piece of paper 2 avoid glue dripping on your work top.
