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!

bullet Print out the template of choice. 
  
bullet Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces. 
  
bullet Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube.
  
bullet Glue the flame to the top of the "candle".
  
bullet Glue on the hearts in whatever way you choose to decorate the candle and/or the "doily".
  
bullet Set the candle on top of the round piece (the doily) so you don't get imaginary wax all over the place!
  
bullet Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
  
bullet 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:

bullet Use sparkles, sparkle glue, or felt to decorate or in place of some of the hearts.
bullet Use pieces of lace or ribbon to trim the bottom of the candle or the edge of the doily.
bullet Use the template for the black and white printer on white paper and colour in the pieces with crayon, marker, paint, etc.
bullet Use the template for the black and white printer on coloured construction paper.
