Walmart LED Christmas Candles

**Hallowennie315** · 10-15-2011,05:43 PM

So I was at Walmart today (picking up my $21 crawling zombie

). I decided to look at the Halloween section and their Christmas section which was already set up. Well, I came across these LED candles used to put on Christmas trees. I was unsure if they would actually flicker like the LED tea lights or just have a static bulb, but to my surprise they worked like the flicker tea lights and better yet, they all independently flicker! I bout a box (~$10) and they are now up in my graveyard. I just spliced the wires and daisy chained them together in my graveyard. For the record, you don't have to use all ten. I'm only using 4 right now connected to the power cord and they all work great! I have attached some pictures... If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Here is one of them that I glued to my Poe tombstone. I just poked a hole through the base with a screwdriver and ran the wire through...

I found some wireless versions of these on ebay and bought 20 a while back, I'm going to hang them from the ceiling with fishing wire

I always wanted to do that! It reminds me of the ceiling in the Great Hall in Harry Potter! :-)

I made candles from paper towel tubes and hot glue drips with this very idea in mind (floating candles from the ceiling) ... problem is how to attach them ... I tried using push pins and straight pins used for sewing but either they didn't hold or they are too obvious ... how do you hang yours? Ideas greatly appreciated.

I haven't tried it yet, but the plan is to create a line of fishing wire going from my balcony to the curtain rail on the other side of the room, several times in different places. Then I'm going to hang the candles (hopefully) tying more fishing wire around the bulb and the other end to the line across the room.

I don't know if it'll work - I bought some superglue just in case haha!
