Pillar Candle
Cut a piece of card 25.5cm long, fold the piece of card around the
circle, placing the circle 8cm from the top edge, stick the piece of
card to the circle as you go. Stick the side of the long piece of card.
Now cut a jagged shape around the top of the card so it resembles a
melted candle.
Make these basic shapes in various heights.
Now the messy part, Mix up a paper mache solution, I used 2 parts
water 1 part PVA glue. Rip up strips of tissue, dip into the solution
and cover the cardboard candles. Use 3 or 4 layers. Make scrunched
up pieces of tissue and place at the front of candles to look like
dripping wax. Then leave over night to dry. Once dry you can paint
your candles any colour you wish. I have painted mine white. Place a
LED tea light onto the circle.
Make a variety of candle in different sizes.
