Tea Light Craft Tips and Tricks
While this project is fairly straightforward, there are a couple of things you should keep in mind.
- If you’re using one of the tea lights you have at home, check that the battery still works before you start to paint. You don’t want to go through the whole process only to find out that the flame doesn’t light.
- Once you let the first layer of paint dry, if you can still see parts of the candle, just add another coat. You can paint as many layers as you need to get the color you want.
Overall, this is a simple project. That’s why it’s a perfect activity for families to do together.
Hopefully, this is just the start of your crafting this holiday.

- Black Permanent Marker
- Acrylic Craft Paint in Yellow, Pink, Orange
- Easter Tea Light Craft Pattern

Instructions
Gather all supplies.
STEP ONE
Remove the battery operated tealights from the packaging. Pull the tab in the back and make sure the flame lights.
Paint the base of the chick tea light with yellow acrylic craft paint. Let dry. Apply a second coat if necessary.
STEP TWO
Paint the flame of the yellow chick votive with orange acrylic craft paint.
Then, paint the flame of the white bunny votive with pink acrylic craft paint. Let dry.
STEP THREE
Now, let’s add the faces!
The chick and bunny tea lights each get two wiggle eyes.
Add cheeks by dipping a new pencil eraser into pink acrylic craft paint and dotting on either side of the bunny’s nose and the chick’s beak.
STEP FOUR
Download, print, and cut out the Easter Tea Light Craft Pattern.
Trace the bunny’s outer ears onto white craft foam, the inner ears onto pink craft foam, and the chick’s feather onto orange craft foam. Cut out all patterns with scissors.
Fringe the chick’s feather by cutting slits around the edge of the orange craft foam.
STEP FIVE
Using hot glue, attach the feather to the top of the back of the chick tea light. Glue the white outer ears to the top back of the bunny tea light, and then attach the pink inner ears. Use the photo for placement.
You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
STEP SIX
Add the bunny’s whiskers and mouth with a permanent black marker.
Tie two bows with colored baker’s twine and glue one to the chick and one to the bunny.
Notes
If you want to give your creation a whimsical look, use two different sized wiggle eyes.
Tweens will love creating these adorable crafts. Add these Easter votives to your table decorations or string them together to create a cute banner!
