Drawing Pin Decorative Candle

Our drawing pin decorative candle - with coloured drawing pins!
Children will really enjoy creating this pretty drawing pin decorative
candle - it is very satisfying to push the pins in, and even the youngest
children (carefully supervised of course!) can produce a really good effect.
You will need: Drawing (push) pins
Plain candle
Instructions:
Decorate your candle by pressing in the pins. We have used pins
with colored heads but you could use just silver and gold if you like.

This candle looks very pretty with gold or silver drawing pins at Christmas.
Older children will enjoy creating quite intricate designs. They could even
vary the design by pushing sequins or beads into the candle with short pins,
too.
Please be aware that if you use plastic coated drawing pins, as we
have, that this candle is decorative only and should not be lit! If you use
metal drawing pins you could light the candle with care (although you should
never leave the candle unattended).
