Simple Fall Craft

Here is a simple fall craft that I have done with the girls several times. It is simple enough for pre-school hands, and when finished, cute enough to display year after year. And, is is very inexpensive! All you need are mixed beans, glue, greased cups and candles. That's it! Mix the glue and beans, scoop into cups and top with a candle. When dry, pop them out and display! Keep it simple!

  2. And its completely safe to actually light the candle?

    1. Yes, we have not had any trouble with the candle being lit. I don't burn them once the wick burns down to the beans though. The candle does need to be burned on a plate, though, because the hot wax drips through voids in the beans.

  3. Really like this idea. But you cannot remove the candle once it burns down and replace it with another, right?

    1. No, it is not possible to replace the candle.
