Step 1Gather your materials

gather your materials
you will need :
glue stick(s) depending on how much glue is needed
a lighter
some tea lights (one with candle in it and one without )
pop-sickle sticks
wire cutters
a heat source.
what I used as a heat source is just some uninsulated wire bent around in a fashion that will hold a tea light holder in place suspended above another tea light. it is important that the top tea light doesn't move or rotate freely in the stand.

To author:
I like the methods you've introduced. Could you please comment on why or why not to use a common cheap glue gun to melt the glue stick?

Thank you!

This seems a good fix, but I wonder how long it can last. Glue stick is not a strong material.
