Picture 3 of 17 from Tutorial: Outdoor flicker lights

I hacked a set of outdoor Christmas flicker lights to make this. The following pictures shows you how to make the candles but I did not show how to make the waterproof connections. If the wires between the sockets are not long enough to reach between the candles, either make your candles short enough to reach or learn how to make waterproof connections. If I'm electrocuting anybody, it will just be myself so I'm not giving instructions in this regard. Sorry :(

UPDATE: PushEject had updated this with a much safer method. Buy C7 sockets, flicker bulbs, wire and a male plug and make your own custom flicker light set. You place the lamp wire into the groove in the socket and lightly hammer in the end cap. The socket has metal pinchers that puncture the wire and makes the connections. It seems much safer and easier. Here's a link to the socket set so you can see what I'm talking about and where you can buy all the lighting supplies. http://www.actionlighting.com/item-detail.asp?ID=1405&MainCategory=&Sub=
