I, personally, would not mix kids, dogs and candles, especially in a tent. You can never be too careful.

Hiyas ... i know you said didn't want to make anything but .......... you would just need to add some chain ...& i see that Poundland do a pack of 4 battery tea lights so wouldn't need to use a real flame. just a thought ...im sure there are many more places to get the  parasol tea light  frames from ...B & M, Home Bargains etc.

Candles in tents?????? Nuff said. You can make very pretty holders for tea lights out of baked bean tins with holes punched into them in a pattern though...for use OUTSIDE the tent. Might satisfy your creative and artistic urges?

mjdb that chandelier is great value for £7.98, quite like it too, very rustic (hmm another theme!)

can't remember who asked what), but tent was glam camping and porch was tortuga

Hiyas val i don't know whether to appoligize for giving you another theme to go for / extra work ..more places to look for to hide stuff from hubby or to say  great go for it lol.  It does look very unusual  even maybe spark a few ideas to have a go at home made 1 looks simple enough.

We also use the flickering led tealights in my daughters Djakarta tent, they look lovely and are totally safe.  We bought ours from ebay but Hobby craft had an offer on them in their shop last time I visited.

If you want candles why don't you get the battery tealight candles, much safer.

Tents and naked flames do not mix - i have seen the results of a tent fire - not good at all

I have seen the results of an unattended cooker causing a house fire but everyone has one!

Its all about being aware, there was a scare about children hanging themselves on the cords of blinds but all three of my children have survived my vertical blinds for the last 5 years without incident. Personally I wouldn't use candles around children, animals or a drunk OH in the house let alone a tent but have some battery LED ones from poundland that are effective.
