They are very clever, the way they flicker like real ones.

I will keep this in mind. I find myself using the little battery operated tea lights more and more (especially since I worry about remembering to blow read candles out).

However, these worked out quite well, and it was fun so see how different they look when the candles are turned on.Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542985048406828693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-11547989078931327452013-08-17T20:28:16.490+12:002013-08-17T20:28:16.490+12:00oh aren't they gorgeous with all the different...oh aren't they gorgeous with all the different colours.

The main thing with these ones is not to use a lighted candle inside, just keep to the battery tea lights for safety.Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542985048406828693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-72042221533959084142013-08-17T19:20:49.356+12:002013-08-17T19:20:49.356+12:00I haven't seen a homemade lantern since I was...I haven't seen a homemade lantern since I was a kid.
