How to Make Faux Candles

There are lots of tutes out there showing how to make drips on your candle sleeves with hot glue but I haven't seen any showing how to make these fat and more realistic looking (at least I think so) candle sleeves. It's super easy! I used lengths of PVC, heated the top and bent it over slightly to give that authentic look. Then I added hot glue drips and painted them. I love how they transformed my chandelier!

Leona Zentner on Feb 25, 2014Lorraine, Thank you for sharing this . I have a huge antique chandelier in my foyer and it needs new candle sleeves and I have been pricing them on the internet, they are expensive for 16 of the fat ones. I am so happy I found your post. I can't wait to make these. Please keep up the good work!!
