The next thing you'll need is a wide necked jar - this is to let as much air as possible get to your candle to stop it from going out. Besides, too long and thin and it's difficult to get your hand in to light it.
After 24 hours, this is what it looked like. Seeing how the PVA had gone clear was really interesting to her, and it gave the leaves a lovely gloss. We needed to wait until night for the real test, though.
And ta da! Pretty candle holder!
I am honour bound to tell you, however, that you're best using LED tea lights in these babies. I don't know how flammable PVA is, and coupled with the very flammable dried leaves, sensible people might recommend that you give this craft a miss. And as always, never leave fire unattended, especially with toddlers.
Pretty though....
