6. Glue gun with sticks
7. Clear Worbla
8. Marker
9. LEDs (I used Moon lights)
10. Paper Towels (for the mess)
Cutting, Tracing, Heating
1. Take your templates, cut them out, trace onto the worbla three times, cut the clear worbla out of those shapes
2. After cutting out your 2D flames, use a heat gun to make the worbla malleable and fold the flames inside and out to get the waves
3. Dip into the bowl to cool down instantly to keep its shape
4. Be sure to heat the tips of the flame, twist, and cool them off
Painting and Drying
1. Keep note of which side you start airbrushing your colors onto
2. Airbrush the color onto your flames
3. Wait for them to dry (not tacky) and add a second layer
Assembling
1. Use your LEDs and manipulate them into a cross like pattern so the base of the flame has more LEDs than the top.
2. Take your three flames and use the glue gun to attach two pieces into a triangle like shape by gluing the edges
3. Insert and glue your cross shaped LEDS into the flame and attach the last piece
4. If any paint rubs off then airbrush again on the inside
(Optional) Paint the outside of the flame the color too
5. Seal the flame with a sealant such as ModPodge
You are now complete for your own cool props!
