Here's a quick, easy addition to the Haunted Centerpiece or just add them all over the house to deaden things up a little.

Your materials:

Anything you can find that'll hold a candle. As an example of two totally different objects, I'm using an old rootbeer bottle and a small vase from the dollar store. You'll also need matches or a lighter, a pair of scissors and your aerosal hombre', the can of spray paint.

Step 1: Get your objects. Spray paint them black.

Step 2: Put the candles in their holders. You could just leave'em like they are in the picture...uh...not creepy. What you need to do is actually break the candles about 3/4 of the way down. Once broken, use your scissors to cut the wick. Now light the cut off portions and the candles still in the holders. Take your broken off pieces and begin dripping the melting wax onto the bottles as well as the sides of the candles still in the holders.

Step 3: And there you have it. This project, as is, will set you back a whopping $1.50 and cost you about ten minutes worth of your time.

While this project was originally a blog from MySpace in 2007, I'll be posting pictures in a couple days that show how this looked in combination with my haunted centerpiece project and a couple of other decor pieces.

Take care,

Tijuana Taxi
