Well I have my first of about 40 pvc candles completed. Created them from white PVC cut to various lengths, cut a circle of pink scrap styro that was hallowed slightly and then glued into the pvc. Then using white glue sticks and my variable temp glue gun, I melted glue onto the edge of the top of the PVC tube and allowed the glue to run naturally. Allowing the layer to cool and set-up, I then returned to do the same thing again and again until I was happy with the effect. Finally I added the Dollar Tree LED tealights (2 for a dollar). Here are some pics:

Very nice. Does Dollar Tree have the tealights out now? I'm thinking of doing a couple of candles soon.

Got them a couple of weeks ago. They were hanging on an end of an aisle here, almost missed them.

Well, now I have to go back to Dollar Tree again and see if I can find those tea lights. Originally Posted by JohnnyAppleseed

Nice work. But recall that the batteries go kinda fast and they can be costly (the large, flat ones). Originally Posted by TK421
