Tips and Tricks

Of course, electric tea lights can also find a place in the cardboard rolls.
Please never leave real candles burning unattended.

How it is done:

Place the cardboard rolls on a piece of cardboard and trace the circle of the opening from the inside with a pencil. Then cut out the cardboard circles and glue them into the cardboard roll. Approx. 1 cm below an opening, so that later the candle finds a place here.
Next, apply hot glue strips of different lengths all around the outside of the cardboard roll. These should look run down wax when dry. Allow the hot glue to dry well.
Paint the outside and inside of the cardboard rolls with GREEN Alkyd paint in black and let dry.
Put some GREEN Alkyd paint in cherry red and metallic silver on a piece of cardboard, dab the sponge in both colors without mixing them strongly. Now carefully paint only the hot glue wax with the sponge.
Once the paint is dry, the various cardboard roll candles can be glued together with hot glue to form a formation. In the troughs are still placed tea lights and the Halloween decoration is ready!
