Pool Noodle Halloween Candles Craft {So Fun!}
Yield: 1
Equipment
- 1 Pair of scissors
Materials
- 1 pool noodle
- low temp glue gun and glue sticks
- black spray paint - I used a FLAT black Rustoleum enamel spray paint
- 5 battery operated tea lights
- masking tape
- ribbon or string Halloween colors
Instructions
- cut the pool noodle at varying lengths
- stand your noodles up and squeeze out melted glue at the top of the pool noodles, going down the sides- (this will be your melted wax illusion)
- tape the wick portion of the tea lights (this will protect them from the paint)
- take your pool noodle pieces and the tea lights out to a well-ventilated area (outdoors is best) to spray them with the black paint
- spray noodles and tea lights - let dry
- turn noodles over and spray the rest - let dry
- when the noodles are dry, cut the center hole a little wider to fit the tea light inside - (you only need to do this at the top - the same end as the melted wax)*
- the hole you make should only be as deep as the tea lights
- group the candles together and tie a string to secure or glue ribbon around them to secure them together
- when you are ready to light the candles, turn the tea lights on and stick them into the holes you've made at the top of the candles
- *Alternative to cutting out a hole for the tea-lights is to simply place them on top of the pool noodles to display
