There should be a small gap left between the papertube and hot glued edges so the light so can be easily lifted out to turn on. Sorry, if I wasn't too clear about it in the steps, hope this helps.Dave Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697644776554772725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14250813.post-30170064670149436422009-10-17T11:46:16.412-07:002009-10-17T11:46:16.412-07:00yes - how do you turn it on without taking it apar...yes - how do you turn it on without taking it apart?

I also paint my candles because the hot glue usually glows a little under black light. That's not very convincing if the body of the candle doesn't glow a little, too. It just looks kinda odd to me.Trader Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16499618365841322660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14250813.post-92068128168432617702008-09-30T16:39:00.000-07:002008-09-30T16:39:00.000-07:00You can make the larger pillar type candles this w...You can make the larger pillar type candles this way using empty pringles cans - just gotta paint the insides as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14250813.post-74268739352734389852008-09-30T11:41:00.000-07:002008-09-30T11:41:00.000-07:00Trader Sam,Beautiful work!

Thanks for the tips on the led lights, I figured for 99 cents I get what I pay for.<BR/><BR/>Yea, I'm not a big fan of seeing the flame myself but the one pictured is going to be sitting up high on top of some bookshelves and roof line so I wanted it to create as much ambiant glow as possible. I never thought of sitting them down as low as you've done for some up close table top versions, great tip!Dave Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697644776554772725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14250813.post-49631778375875294162008-09-30T08:05:00.000-07:002008-09-30T08:05:00.000-07:00Also, I don't like the fake-looking flames.

That way it looks like the candle has been lit for a while, and guests have to imagine the flame.Trader Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16499618365841322660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14250813.post-27843117150429796252008-09-30T08:02:00.000-07:002008-09-30T08:02:00.000-07:00I've been making a few of those for the past coupl...I've been making a few of <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cannibal_stew/2757164054/in/set-72157606690070587/" REL="nofollow">those</A> for the past couple of months. I even have a few that just sit on a shelf with "wax" pooling, and a couple designed to sit on a ledge with "wax" dripping off.<BR/><BR/>Those orange flicker candles are alright for pumpkins, but you have to use 2-3 at a time, and they work best in a low-light area. I personally have found that the 6-pack GE brand lights (find 'em at Michaels) are brighter and last longer. I can light 8 of them in my bedroom, and they give off some decent light. The GE candles are expensive though, so coupons are highly recommended!Trader Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16499618365841322660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14250813.post-76880852913536583972008-09-30T06:51:00.000-07:002008-09-30T06:51:00.000-07:00Wow, fantastic effect -- great seeing it "in situ"...Wow, fantastic effect -- great seeing it "in situ" with your skully head. <BR/><BR/>LOVE that your projects are made from materials on hand, or purchased inexpensively.
