out of the dark

 and into the light.

 I am a fan of candles,

yet I rarely light them.

I've had this idea rolling about in my head for a year now,

since I saw a real wax flameless candle last year.

In an effort to spend as little as possible

and to make use of what I have,

I bought some battery flameless tealights,

took a fixed potato peeler to this pillar candle

carved out a hole about two inches deep
(I used the pointy end of the peeler
not the actual peeler part!)

and

tadah!

one flameless candle.

 two flameless candles 

(uh huh ha)

With my mind now in full flow.

I raced about the house finding things to light up.

The possibilities are endless....

so why not have a go?

Give your house a clumsyadult child/pet friendly glow.

* I bought my tea lights from Robert Dyas

6 for £2.99

They do sell flameless pillar candles too.

My only tip with the tealights 

is to try before you buy 

if possible.

These flicker,

which is a tiny bit artificial.
