Thread: PVC Candles?

Tweet

I bought 1" PVC for homemade PVC candles. Will that work? I just found out that your supposed to use 1 1/2" but that seems SOOOO big. Will 1" work? I don't have tea lights to see. Thanks

The flicker LED tea lights that I have are 1.5 inches in diameter.

Yeah I believe you will need 1.5 or >, I used 1.5 and 2".

I have been trying to find the LED tea lights at any dollar store and I just cant seem to find any at all. I rather not spend 20 bucks somewhere for a few, if I am going to have a good amount of candles. Though I actually cant seem to find ANY even if they were high priced.

Anyone know of a store which sells them for cheap??

I bought mine several years ago at Walgreens. I got a package of 6 for $5 and I used some customer reward points or coupons or something to help bring down the cost. Battery operated, on/off button, still working 4 Halloweens later!

I have also seen them at Costco, 10 per pack I believe and they were a good price. Not sure if they would be available in USA?

Walmart has 6-packs for $2.50 in with the regular candles and candle holders. I'm currently searching for a version that is actually as bright as a real candle. I see those submersible versions are bright but I don't know if they flicker.

I am looking for the fake flicker tea lights as it will be used in a school and fire would be a big deal to them. Xane, were the 6-packs at Walmart fake or real?

They're the fake ones, battery powered. Can't remember if they're 3 x LR44/AG13 batteries or a single CR2032 battery. Same low brightness ones everyone else has. Probably a bit higher quality than the dollar store ones, actually!

I've been to Walmart literally every day this week for projects because I always forget something... -.-'

I will definitely check into them. Do they flicker? That's a great deal, as you can create a lot of candles for cheap then.
