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

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.

Craft Templates:

• 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).
