Craft tea lights into light sources for D&D (The DM's Craft, Short Tip #41)

[@JinVanStein]

I've used tea lights on the outside edges of maps just to set the mood. I hadn't thought to craft them into something that I could use IN the maps! Great video!

[@brainofjung]

Very well done! Easy tip.

[@Heroes_of_Qalanor_RPG]

Good stuff as always!

[@terrainaholic]

Very COOL! Where did you get those and how much if you don't mind me asking as I'd LOVE to pick some up:)!!!!!

[@theDMsCraft]

Got them at Walmart in the Halloween section. A for pack was under 3 bucks

[@TheDMGinfo]

My secret passage video intro is lit with proper ones (actual fire!)

[@vaguevocalist17]

Haha! I just did this last week. However, I did take off the case to make it smaller. This caused some small problems with the switch, but it wasn't too hard to remedy. I'll upload some pictures to the forum, upon request, if anyone is curious how it turned out.

[@michaelshort1411]

What you should do is remove the plastic flame of the tea light. That way you get more light from your tea lights then go over the led light with the hot glue to get your textured flames.

[@tuckertcs]

No offense but one thing you do a lot is you over do the glow effect. Just but it on lightly and make it fade away not just stop right away.

[@tuckertcs]

But in this case I don't you need the glow effect sense it's already glowing. :)

[@DEVDEVDAROO2001]

Awesome idea I have lots of these I better get busy

[@theDMsCraft]

Sure should =)

[@CustomTerrain]

You really love that hot glue gun haha ;) Looks good, I'll have to keep an eye for those lights...

[@theDMsCraft]

I need to get stock in hot glue...lol

[@sr2joker]

Really cool idea.

[@DragonstarFighter]

As usual, it looks amazing

[@shawnyfin]

Good job! I have used the tea lights in my 3D settings, but I recede them into the floor, get JUST the flame on the playing surface. I've put them under campfires, cooking fires, tavern fires, even conjuring circles :-) Cheers mate

[@gamesdisk]

Ok, I was worried that you where using the real ones

[@theDMsCraft]

I did...lol

[@Dudeamis17]

I was just thinking of doing this for camp fires, nice to see it in action.

[@theDMsCraft]

Would work good for that too.

[@Dudeamis17]

so I tore apart a Dollar Tree tea light and decided to make a fireplace

[@ericsmith1508]

I wish I had access to these great ideas back when my group all lived in the same state and met regularly! we had some awesome stuff but this unreal!! keep the ideas coming incase I find an active group where i'm living now!

[@theDMsCraft]

Edward Teach Awesome, that is what I was going to suggest. No reason you can't find a group now.
