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.

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.
