This is the first time I have attempted to try to make pool noodle candles. Since it is Halloween time, I wanted to make them spooky candles.

I used one pool noodle and cut it into 8 pieces of various sizes, a pizza pan, battery tea lights, and a glue gun. When decorating my candles I also used some black roses and Dahlias. All of the supplies came from the Dollar Tree.
I arranged the noodles until I liked how they looked on the pan, before hot gluing them in place.
I then used the hot glue to make drips on the noodles to make it look like candle wax.
PRO TIP - if you have a duel temp glue gun make the drips with the LOW SETTING. Thankfully I started with the two smallest candles, because I had my glue gun on high. Oops! I may have melted them a bit. It's okay though, they will be hidden with the flowers later.
I used black paint to cover the glue drips. I only had white tea lights, so I also painted the top half black as well. I have seen some people use spray paint for this step. I did not have any on hand, so I used acrylic paint,
Since the tea lights will fit into the pool noodles, I did not need to paint the bottom half.
Once the candles were done, it was time to decorate the pan.
I glued on two large black Dahlias, and a black rose bundle from the Dollar Tree . I would have use more rose bundles, but I only found one. I took apart the rose bundle, and with the Dahlias I had enough flowers to cover the entire pan.
