Mirrored LED Candle.

This is a small project I made from a scrapbooking sticker and a 3/$1.00 electronic candle.

Materials

These are the main items. The dollar store electronic candle and the scrapbook sticker.

Take off the mainbody of the candle. It has a battery, a switch, the special LED, and a silicon "Flame".

These are two scrap pieces of foamboard. First I cut out a hole to fit the bottom of the candle, then glued them both together.

Then I glued the bottom of the candle into the hole. The LED protrudes above the foamboard.

Then I cut a small hole just large enough to feed the LED through. After that I peeled the backing off the sticker and pressed it onto the foamboard.

After that I carefully bent the LED  and put the silicon flame back onto the LED. Then I trimmed away the excess foamboard.
