I’ve been trying for years to slightly replicate the floating candles from Harry Potter, because Harry Potter. I’ve done the diy from Pinterest, using an empty toilet paper rolls, tea light, fishing line and the ever essential hot glue gun,
Honestly, it’s a fun craft to do however, who wants stubby candles? And they die quickly because well how do you turn them off? In essence, its fun but not functional. In steps Temu which hasn’t done me dirty since I bought anything from them.
I bought the twenty-four count of candles with wand, which is suppose to turn the candles on and off. After applying the batteries for a few days it worked like a charm to turn them off and on. However, to hang said candles it became difficult if not nye impossible. The candles came with a glue sticky tack that you stick to the provided fishing line and you are to hang the candle with them after applying the battery.
They fall instantly, the candles they are too heavy for the “sticky-tacky” they provided.Everything kept falling. So, being an engineering comrade and possibly a very frustrated person I whipped out my hot glue gun. I glued the tip of the candles with the fishing line in hopes they’d stay up. For the most part they did however, the other part, they didn’t.
I was excited to take part of this possibility but after many batteries, hot glue glue and tons of wand waving this venture is a bust. Maybe there is bugs or maybe I bought it to cheap. You decide.
As always, Keep On Brewin.
