DIY Creepy Candles

Starting my Project This year I have been trying to go for a scarier feel in my house for Halloween now that my kids are getting a little older. So I knew I wanted to go for like a "Haunted Witches House" kinda look, which definitely meant I was going to use a lot of candles in this venture.... gnarly looking candles. I stumbled across this candelabra, I actually wasn't really sure what to do with it and tried to sell it unsuccessfully on Facebook, after a few no show buyers it made its way onto my kitchen table where I decided to keep it and turn it into a Halloween decoration. (I don't regret this decision)

I bought these battery powered candles from Dollar Tree, they run off AAA Batteries. You can find these candles on Dollar Trees website HERE or at any Dollar Tree Store.

I opened them all up, and started to lay on the hot glue. I started from where I wanted the bottom of the drip to be all the way to the top of the candle.

Once I put it all on I let it dry a few minutes and pulled all the extra strings off.

I decided to paint them with this Black chalk paint mainly because I painted a few other decorations with it and I would like everything to match. I do not recommend this paint, it just scratches right off the candles. so you should probably just use regular acrylic paint or spray paint for yours. I ended up going back and spray painting them later.

Painted each candle ( 2 Coats)

And Finally we are done! Don't they look amazing!?

Thank you for reading! I hope you have a spooky time making your very own creepy candles!
