Supply list to build 6 of these from Hobby Lobby:
1 - bag 1 3/4" Ball Knobs (6 pcs) $2.99 1 - bag 3/4" Round Bead (8 pcs) $1.47 1 - bag 1 1/8" Circles (12 pcs) $1.47 1 - 1/8" dowel rod $1.49 4 - Craft paints $.79 each
Total cost: $10.58 + tax or ($1.76 each)
Building instructions, cut the small beads in half (I used a miter saw and a clamp), drill holes for legs into the larger ball knobs, drill hole for wick in wooden circle. Cut dowel for legs and wick. Test assemble and paint. Everything basically sticks together with paint, but you might want some glue if you plan on chucking them like grenades.
Fun cheap project.
