How to make your Jack Be Nimble Nursery Rhyme Craft

  2. Cut a small circle from the colored cardstock that is one inch larger than the diameter of the toilet paper tube.  Cut a small strip of paper from the colored cardstock, roll into a circle, and glue.  Glue the small loop to the edge of the colored cardstock circle.  Allow the glue to dry.  (see photos)
  3. Shape one end of the pipe cleaner into a flame.  Tape the other end of the pipe cleaner to the circular piece of cardstock.  (see photos)
  4. Place the toilet paper tube through the flame and glue into place.  Allow the glue to dry.  (see photos)
  5. Your candlestick is now complete.  Find a Jack in your deck of cards and clip to a clothespin or glue to a Popsicle stick.  (see photos)
