DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Lovely Candle
This "lovely candle" is made with a toilet paper tube, a printer and a little imagination. If you do not have a printer, just take a peek at the templates and draw the pieces out yourself!
Materials:
- cardboard roll
- printer
- paper
- something to color with
- scissors
- glue
Printable Craft Templates:
- Print out the Valentine's Day template of choice.
- Colour (if making the black and white version of the craft) 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 hearts in whatever way you choose to decorate the candle and/or the "doily".
- Set the candle on top of the round piece (the doily) so you don't get imaginary wax all over the place!
Alternative Decorating Ideas:
- Use sparkles, sparkle glue, or felt to decorate or in place of some of the hearts.
- Use pieces of lace or ribbon to trim the bottom of the candle or the edge of the doily.
- Use the template for the black and white printer on white paper and colour in the pieces with crayon, marker, paint, etc.
- Use the template for the black and white printer on coloured construction paper.
