Floating Candles


Floating Candles





















These floating candles are a perfect decoration to hang up in your room.  They are simple to make, and I have even seen a couple seven year olds accomplish this craft.


Materials Needed:

-Three paper towel rolls
-Three strips of cardboard (from a cereal box)
-White spray paint
-A long stick of wood (see bottom picture)
-Silver spray paint
-Hot glue + Glue gun
-Fishing line
-Drill
-Electric tea lights

1.  Drill three holes in your stick of wood, then, spray paint it silver.  Set aside and dry.


2. Ooze, and drip hot glue down from the top of your three paper towel rolls, to make it look like an old, used candle.  Once the glue has dried, glue in a strip of cardboard into each roll so that the tea lights will stay up (see picture below).




3.  Spray paint your candles white.  Let dry.


4.  Thread a long piece of fishing line through one of the drilled holes of your stick.  Adjust your line so that it is your wanted length, then glue each end of the fishing line to the inside of the candle so that it hangs from the stick.  Repeat with each of the drilled holes and candles.


5.  Place your electric tea lights into the top of each candle, and voila!
