Candles from pencil eraser tops & how it was made

We made theses in our group yesterday but I only got a picture

 of mine because I forgot my camera! 

Click on the pic to see it larger!

They were rolled in paint, used a tiny branch from the died flowers

 for the wick and a tiny round mirror on the bottom for the bases but one base

 was from a plastic creamer cup bottom.

it was so much fun! My friend Yvonne helped me a little to get more volume

 in the flower arrangement.

here's a picture of the pencil and top

 

here's how to use  the cap for a votive candle

which I have not done yet!

Just cut it a bit shorter to sit inside, paint it or not can glaze it

 with a mat or gloss clear varnish then add a wick from a tiny stem from died flowers

 and place on a base if you desire! I got 10 in a pack for $1.00 at the Dollar Tree store.
