Default ISO Folded (origami?) Paper Floating Candle Holder Directions

I am looking for directions for a folded floating candle holder. Someone told me these exsist, but I have searched the www. high and low as well as SCS and cannot find anything. Any help or direction is greatly appreciated!
TIA,
Wendy

Default Interesting idea

I found this page that says the floating candles are made from folded wax instead of folded paper.

All the other items I found were floating candles.... the ones made of a lighter mix of wax. It almost seems that even if you made a holder of some kind (with shiny paper so it doesn't get soggy?) it would still need a lightweight candle or the whole thing might sink.

Default Found an idea...

I found a video on youtube with an easy origami lotus I think may work:

I tried folding it with dsdsp and it works well. I am going to try to dip the bottom of one in melted wax to make it more water-friendly. I'll let you all know how it turns out!

***For safety, these will be floating in a pond and have tealights in a metal cup inside. We will not be using these as regular candle holders outside of water!***
