Step 1: The Roman Candles

We got ours at our local fireworks store. We picked some inexpensive wand size ones.

Then Dad set out glue gun to low and added some texture. We didn't get too detailed because these are single use. And will be thrown away when done.

I added the plastic gem at the end makes it a little cooler. We had a bag lying around. But you could use marbles or glass aquarium beads. Pretty cheaply.

Step 2:

We used blue painters tape to protect the fuse and the gem from spray paint. Then we painted with flat black and some silver.

We painted the details with gold for a nice touch.

We made 10 in less than an hour. Not bad going to need about 30 for the party.
