DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Rainbow Candle Craft

This tp roll candle is nice and colourful and quite easy to make.  Make enough of them and you may even attract a Leprechaun or two!  

Materials needed are a toilet paper tube, scissors, crayons, paper, a printer and glue.
 

  • Print out the craft template of choice.
  • Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the Template pieces.
  • Glue the rectangular piece onto the tp roll.
  • Glue the flame onto the top of the tp roll to make the candle.
  • Tape the candle to the circle ("doily").
  • Glue on the pots of gold to decorate the candle or doily as desired.

Alternative Decorating Ideas:

  • Use sparkles, sparkle glue, or felt to decorate the "candle".
  • Use water colour paints with the black and white printer template to get a rainbow effect.
