Faux Candles for Lights

5-Arm Palace Chandelier Use a clear or white straw with a 1/4" diameter. (These are often handed out with large drinks from fast food restaurants.) Cut into 3/4" lengths and paint with the candle color of your choice. In the examples shown, FolkArt "Buttercup" was used to suggest beeswax. Apply the paint with a coarse brush so that when lit, the color will appear streaked like running wax.
