If you enjoy the look and feel of candles, then you'll like this DIY project. The PVC pipes have an identical look to tall candles and cast off the same type of light without forcing you to worry about burning your home down. They're also mobile so if you get tired of them in one room or end up wanting to try them in another, they're easily movable. It's yet another upside to this project!

Take some sticky sided velcro dots and place one side on the bottom of your battery powered lights.
