How cute are these miniature candlesticks?!
Here's how I made them...

Step 1: You Will Need

All you need is two wooden kebab skewers, or cocktail sticks for small candles, four round beads and two flatter beads.

Step 2: Assemble the Candlesticks

Cut the kebab skewers to the desired length, mine were 5cm, and glue the flatter beads at the bottom, then a round bead, and then a bit further up add the second round bead.

Step 3: Painting

Once the glue is dried you can paint the candlesticks.
I chose cream for the candles and gold for the sticks.
A few coats of acrylic paint covered up the brightly coloured plastic beads I used.
