Thread: PVC Flicker Candles

Tweet

I'm going to try my hand at these this year

Excellent melting effect! I love those!

Nice work sarahtigr! They turned out great! I did some last year to and they can be addicting.



The Reapers WS6 I would love top make those with the electric bulbs. You did a great job on your display and love the red color of the candles. I will proabably be making more of them.

Well my 14 yr old son just made a set of these turned out pretty good so far. We made them with black PVC they are unpainted as he's not sure what he wants to do yet. Here's a pic and hopefully a short clip i hope.

Tell your son he did a great job with these! I especially like the Great White music in the background on the vid

wow! these just got moved to the top of the list! thanks!

Thanks for the comments my son really appreciates it.

hi

Quick question. Is this version of the PVC candle usable outdoors (i.e. in the rain)? If not, can they be made so. Terra's non-battery PVC candles have a groove cut in them to let water drain out, would this work on battery-powered flicker lights?

thanks for any help in advance

I started working on more dynamite when ... I ran out of GreatStuff! What am I going to do with these cardboard tubes ??? I had some of my LED flicker tealights sitting next to me and wondered if they would fit into the tubes and they DID!!! I packed up the bottoms with wadded newpaper and hot glued them to the foam piece. Because the cardboard tubes soak up spraypaint I have to wait til they dry and put a second coat or paint on the candles. This is just a first step. I have to add two more shorter candles in the front to light up the taller ones, then paint them and DryLoc coat the foam piece they are all sitting on. The good thing is that the flicker candles can be easily removed to store them or change th batteries.
