Easy Upcycle Christmas TP Candle Craft

Candles have been an important symbol of Christmas for eons. Did you know Martin Luther was the first to light a Christmas tree with candles?  Symbolizing the light of Christ in the world, On the weeks leading to Christmas through Advent, a candle is lit in church. 

Each year at Christmas our family used to make candles for our doors from left-over Christmas wrap tubes, Christmas paper and ribbon.
I was trying to think of a craft kids might be able to do at home if they didn't have any craft supplies. so I created this mini-version from items we had on hand. - a Toilet tissue roll,  and junk mail. How to secure the flame in the candle was a puzzle, until I folded the paper to make the flame - and the light came on!
These instructions can also help students learn a few geometry terms. Here's what you need:

Upcycle TP Roll Candle Supplies:

• Junk Mail with no Printing on one side.

Upcycle TP Roll Candle How To:

1. Cut or tear a rectangle of paper about  5 cm wider than the height toilet paper roll and 2.5 cm  longer than the circumference of the toilet paper tube.

Measure and Cut Junk Mail a bit bigger than the TP Cylinder

2. Next, roll the Junk Mail around the Toilet tissue roll and tuck the ends in.

3. Now, cut or tear a flame from Junk Mail that is about 2.5 cm , or one big adult thumb wider than the Toilet Paper Tube. Tip - fold the paper in half for a symmetrical flame. This will also help your flame stand in your candle.
