I was messing around with different materials trying to dress up a little LED tealight, and this is one of the versions I ended up liking (plus it’s dirt cheap since it’s just thread!). I love me some textures. This may be useful for those with wedding venues that don’t allow real flames.

Here’s a cool DIY Flame Thrower project that will remind you of X-men characters.

Definitely this isn’t as powerful as anything in the movies but will burn most things off pretty fast.
