Turn paper tubes into candlesticks complete with shimmery flames.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Paper towel and tissue tubes
Glue Acrylic paints Gold foil wrapping paper | |
| Seasons: Christmas | |
| Materials: cardboard, paints | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Set the tubes on end, then (here's the fun part) squirt
blobs of white glue right from the bottle around the top of each
one. |
| 2. | Allow the glue to run down the sides to create a dripped-wax effect. Let the glue dry thorougly (it should look clear when it has.) |
| 3. | Brush on a coat or two of paint over the dried glue, and again let the candlesticks dry completely. |
| 4. | Cut a flame shape for each candle from a sheet of gold foil
wrapping paper. Attach each flame to its candlestick by gluing or
taping the lower edge to the inside of the painted tube.
