Y2K CANDLE CRAFT

Materials you will need for this Y2K candle craft are a toilet paper roll, a printer, paper (I prefer construction paper or another heavier paper), scissors, glue, and something to colour with.  Optional materials are stickers, a small paper plate, doily or felt and sparkles or sparkle glue.  

This candle is "just pretend"... you cannot really light it!

 

 Y2K Candle Craft

Instructions:

bullet Print out the template of choice.  If using a black and white printer, try printing on construction paper.
  
bullet Colour pieces, as necessary. 
  
bullet Cut out the pieces.  This step may require adult assistance. 
  
bullet Glue the large rectangle onto the tp roll.  If you don't like the proportions of the candle (i.e. think it's too tall), you can cut the tp roll down a bit.  We often make three candles, all different heights, and group them together in the center of the table.
  
bullet Glue on the candle decorations.  You can add further swirls and designs with stickers, sparkles or sparkle glue.
  
bullet Glue the flame onto the tp roll (at the top).
  
bullet OPTIONAL:  To finish you can decorate a doily, circle of felt or paper plate with left over template pieces, stickers, sparkles or sparkle glue.   Arrange your candle/candles on the doily, felt or paper plate.
  
bullet Display in a place of honour (fireplace mantle or dining room table come to mind).
  
  
bullet Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
  
bullet Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).

Different computers work a bit differently in terms of how they print.  If the first templates don't work for you, try these instead:
