供应自助户外蜡烛灯笼(2small and one large cube):

15 18″ square dowel rods available at your local craft store
pen
tape measure
saw (handsaw, miter saw or table saw)
spray paint
3 large washers (for the center candle)
3 candles
superglue (and an accelerator such as kicker to speed up drying if desired)

DIY Cubed Outdoor Candle Lanterns Instructions:

Step 1: Measure and cut dowel rods

首先测量将以任何您想要的尺寸来创建多维数据线的销杆。在这里，我们创建了两个4英寸立方体和一个6.5英寸立方体。对于每个立方体，无论您创建什么尺寸，您都需要13个相同大小的零件。如果可能的话，最容易同时将它们全部切割，以使测量尽可能接近。

Step 2: Start to glue pieces together

Layout all your pieces before starting to glue. Create one box for the top with 4 pieces, another box for the bottom with 4 more pieces, and one extra to go across the center. Set 4 more aside to create the height of the box.

Step 3: Continue to glue and create a cube

Glue all the pieces together. Start with the top and bottom pieces. Gently dap a small drop of super glue to the ends of the dowel rods and hold together for approximately 15-30 seconds while drying. This is where the kicker accelerator will come in handy if you have it to speed up the drying process.

You can also dap a small amount of glue over the corner seams of each connection to ensure that the dowels stay well glued together. Create the top and bottom first and let dry. Once dry connect together in the cube shape with your 4 remaining dowels by attaching the cubes at the corners.

Once finished with the cube, glue the washer to the bottom of the cross-section dowel. This will be the most time-consuming part of the project but go slow and allow each of the attachments plenty of time to dry so that the project doesn’t fall apart later.

Step 5: Spray paint the cube

Lastly, once the cube is created and the pieces are all attached and completely dry, spray paint each of them a fun bright color! Make sure to flip over and get the underside of the cube.

Once the cubes are dry, your outdoorcandle holderis officially a completed lantern. So go ahead and place the votive candle in the center (make sure to use a candle already in glass or some sort of container) and enjoy your new accessory. Please note, these are made with wood so don’t leave the lit candles unattended and ensure that there is plenty of room between your flame and the sides of the cube.
