Making Harry Potter Floating Candles


 I decided to take on a new adventure and start a YouTube channel! I made Halloween decorations this year and I am SO excited and so proud of myself. This is my video of how to make harry potter floating candles. They make a great Halloween decoration and a great Christmas decoration as well!

You will need:

Tape

Wire, String, or Fishing line, (I used clear beading string)

Toilet paper rolls or old Paper Towel rolls that have been cut in half(the shorter the better).

Tea lights(I got mine at Walmart)

Scissors

White paint(I used a cream color or acrylic paint)

A hot glue gun (and the glue sticks for it)

Paint brush

Container for paint

water to  wash paintbrush with afterwards

First, get all of your Paper Towel rolls and paint each one of them inside and out. You'll be seeing the inside when you look up.

Second, once the paint is completely dry glue or tape your tea lights to the inside of your paper towel holders

Third, Cut the string, wire, fishing line etc. (Make it longer if you want your lights to hang lower). Tape the string or hot glue the string to the inside of the paper towel or toilet paper tube.

Fourth, make squiggle lines with your hot glue gun on the outside of the toilet paper or paper towel tube.

Fifth, hang up lights and turn them on. (I recommend only leaving them on for a day at a time at most, the lights die fast)
