First Once you've gathered all the material, we will first deal cutting pieces of paper from the newspaper. Since the greaseproof paper is slightly heavier than normal, it would be best if you find this, but if you can not find it with just plain plastic tape. This method works on the principle of unity and strength. It often happens that we remain without a day when we watch fighters who propagated a martial art and proved its strength lies in the fact that many knives, nails. Just plain paper folded could not withstand the weight of the candles, but when they are more costly to them you can put a candle of any size and weight. When you cut the newspaper, you need to decide how much height you want for your unusual candle holder on the basis that cut out small pieces of paper. Particular attention should be paid to the fact that you choose the length and breadth, all the other pieces of paper must be identical with them.

All other pieces stick to the rolls of one of the crowd making something like a hexagon or a shape that you want and imagine. To create a candlestick in this example, it took about 163 rolls of paper.

 

 

Third Since you have made in the preferred form of the candlestick, and yet you just left that put the candle on top to enjoy the light.Special attention here is that the request concerns the precautions because it is a flammable material, you need to be careful not to burn candles to the end, or as a preventive measure under the candles put small pieces of foil that will be a small loom. This preparation does not require much time or material resources, and is quite nice to look.

With Easter Sunday eggs are traditionally associated, which are indispensable symbol of this holiday season. But other than Easter eggs, the eggs can develop other appropriate decorations. For example, the Easter candle.

To do so the uncooked egg on top and bottom of the shell and make you blow a hole from one side to the interior venting. Then wash the shell as best you can, and when dry paint the stroke it just as you would to create an egg.

 

In the second phase of candles, carefully break the egg so that you can separate the upper shell and remove the "cap". Close the hole that was left at the bottom of the shell, and for this you may use transparent adhesive. Melt the wax in the fire. Cut a thin piece of string and wrap one end around a toothpick or a large tree, so that the other end hangs. Holding the toothpick in the air to the bottom line then set the environment and prepared and painted shell holding it upright. Then slowly pour the melted wax while holding toothpick line then that will serve as a wick. After you have poured the wax to the top of all leave to cool in a place where you did that when you move the wax would not be spilled. Take a toothpick from the wick after the candle is fully hardened, while the cooling time somewhere Snap the toothpick to hold the line will not be as inflammation of the wax.

 

After the wax hardens and you'll get a nice commemorative Easter candle, which you can set the table in small candlesticks or pots for serving boiled eggs.
