1. Choose a size of cardboard roll to create your candle. Trace around one end of the cardboard roll onto white cardboard. Cut out the circle.
2. Use a sharp pencil to poke a hole through the centre of the circle. Adult supervision is recommended.
3. Cut a bright chenille stem in half. Twist the ends of one piece of chenille stem together. Pinch the top into a point and bend to form a flame. Repeat this process so you have two flames.
4. Decorate your cardboard roll using paint. To create a lighter tone, add white to your chosen colour. Allow to dry.
5. Cut two tinsel chenille stems into different lengths: 1 x 20cm and 1 x 25cm. Tape each end to opposite sides of the cardboard roll on the inside. Bend the stem over the edges slightly.
6. Push the two chenille stem flames through the hole in your cardboard circle from Step 2. Tape the bottom to hold the flames in place.
7. Use a glue gun to add glitter to the circle underneath the flames. Attach the cardboard circle to the top of the roll by applying more glue to the edges. Allow to dry.
8. Add glue to the sides of the cardboard roll candle so it looks like it is melting. Sprinkle glitter over the top and allow to dry.
9. Add any extra decorations or patterns to your candle if you wish. Your Joyous Candle is now ready to display!
