Torches for VBS. Used paper towel tube, paper plate, and top half of very large cup. Wrapped all in foil, hot glued together, then painted with sponge brush and acrylic craft paint (dabbed black, Brown and gold onto brush from paper plate palette). Stuff with foil, viola! Then I cut strips of card board, did same foil/paint treatment. Will attach a strip to wall in a half circle and set torch in!
Love my torches!
