DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
DLTK's Kwanzaa Candle

by Leanne Guenther

This pretend Kwanzaa candle is made with a toilet paper tube, a printer and a little imagination. It goes well as a table decoration along with the matching Kwanzaa napkin rings.

Print out the craft template of choice.
Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.
Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube.
Glue the flame to the top of the "candle".
Glue on the ears of corn in whatever way you choose to decorate the candle.
Set the candle on top of a round piece of construction paper or a doily so you don't get imaginary wax all over the place.
Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).

Alternative Decorating Ideas:

Use sparkles, sparkle glue, or felt to decorate some more.
Use pieces of lace or ribbon to trim the bottom of the candle or the edge of the doily.
