Paint a display of fireworks on the other side of the candle holder. Use the fine point paint brush and start at the bottom. Make your strokes up. The strokes should go up one side and curl back down the other. Make two of these going in each direction. Make one in the center that goes straight up. At the end of each stroke, paint a gold star. Allow the paint to dry for about an hour.
