Underwater Flame

Underwater Flame
How to make an the look of a flame underwater. A great decoration for Halloween :)

You will need:
A Jug
Food colouring
Water
Wine glass
A glass tumbler
Candles

Make sure that the glass tumbler fits into the top of the wine glass. It is best to use a tumbler that is shorter than the the wine glass so that the tumbler doesn't poke out the top. ( unfortunately I could not find a tumbler to fit).

Step 1

Take the wine glass and place the glass tumbler inside. Fill the wine glass with water to the rim of the tumbler. Then remove the tumbler. Place the water into a jug and stir in some colouring ( Darker colours work best). Pour the content back into the wine glass.

You used to be able to buy candle holders like this in the 70's.

This is pretty cool :) was hoping for a way to actually waterproof a flame but this is cool as well. Wouldn't it look a bit more realistic if the tumbler was the same height as the wine top edge?
