How to Make Light Up Dollhouse Candles with Straws and String Lights

I’ve been adding some lighting to my Halloween Dollhouse! Along with some other dollhouse furniture I got this summer is a great miniature Shackman organ that is so spooky and perfect for my haunted chateau. I wanted some candles to sit atop the organ that actually illuminated the room, so today I’m making some. The candles themselves are made using paper straws from Ikea, and some LED string lights with the slim coin style battery pack. I’m disguising all the wires under a “tablecloth“ of wrinkled fabric. This means there are no wires or cords sticking out the back of my display. You could also do this technique for a display on a table or dresser in your dollhouse. Here’s the full project page with all my supplies and the step by step if you’d like to make some of your own: My beautiful craft supply store:
