Step 1
glue the popcicle sticks in 4 squares touching eachother upon wax paper, this will allow you to fold the paper to make a box. (you can probobly use 3 squares to make a triangle candle shade or use more then 4 squares to make differnt shapes.)
Step 2
While the glue drys, draw a design for the sides of your shade. i drew a tree but draw anything you want for all 4 sides.
Step 3
cut the design out of any colored paper you want. then glue your design to the wax paper and let it dry.
Step 4
Cut the wax paper around the squares leaving extra wax paper at the bottom and at the sides.
Step 5
cut little slits on the extra wax paper at the bottom. only cut at the meeting of 2 squares.
Step 6
fold the wax paper into a 3D square. and tape the bottem wax paper strips together like the picture. then tape the extra paper on the sides of the squares together to compleate the square.
Step 7
place candles or some light source in the middle(i used fake electronic candles because it is less of a fire hazard)and let the light glow through showing off the great designs and you are done :)
