I found them at Dollar Tree and I took off the outer case.







I traced the base to make a "lid" for the torches.







I made strips for the base. I went with a 1/4" in height and 13cms in length.







I then attached the strips to the base:







I then took the "lid" and cut a hole in the middle and then attached it all together. If you are using hot glue, be careful not to let the glue get into the middle and take away the space the on/off switch needs.







Then take a straw and cut it down the middle and cut to size. This will over the metal going up to the light.







Then use a dime to make another circle, this is to go right under the light.











Now put a hole in the middle and put it on the tealight. This is with it on with hot glue and the straw attached.







Take the sewing gird that DM Scotty uses and use that for the torch.







To make it into a circle use two thin pieces cardstock and attach them to the sewing grid to make it into a circle. This was the hardest part for me until I used the thing strips of cardstock. And then I attached it to rest of the contraption.











Then paint.



















I would love suggestions!!!
