Beulah and I have been wanting to create these candleholders for a very long time!They seemed like the perfect craft for our home.
We finally did it and they now reside in my Orangerie for Halloween.
These were such a quick and fun Halloween craft. Each tall one took ten Pool noodles. The two Small ones my niece made using five noodles each.
We just used a bread knife to cut them and then used a hot glue gun set on low. We started with the back row laying them flat on the counter and then after finishing the back row layingand making sure the bottoms were even we glued on the next row and the next. Always make sure the bottoms are even so it will stand.
I kept my first noodle the full size. Since they have a curve to them, I put a garden stake up in the first two to hold them straight.
When you have your stack
all done, run a circle of
glue around the top of
each and then drip the
glue down the sides.
It took us a little over
an hour to put the large
stack or the two small
stacks together and to
run the drips.
Then take them outside and using spray paint, paint them black. Each tall stack took about a can of paint. So easy and so fun.
I just sat the black battery candles on the top of each noodle. The glue circle keeps them in place.
Beaulah is so happy you
flew on over!
