I'm not even sure that I used anything to attach the ends, I'll have to look! They've stayed for almost 9 years, though. I also bought taper candles (three purple, one pink), and since the candle holders weren't on sale at the time, I just bought the cheapest ones which happened to be votive holders. I use a piece of fun-tak (ticky-tack, whatever) on the bottom of the candles to hold them upright, and I'm pretty sure I've used the same piece for the whole time. I just stick it in the bottom of one holder until next year.
