Add a short wick and a teardrop flame above it.
5. Give it a holder
Draw a wide shallow dish beneath the candle, then a small foot.
6. Add Christmas sparkle

Finished? That’s just the beginning.
Try a different colour, add a snowy background, or turn your drawing into a card for someone you love. It doesn’t need to look exactly like ours.
