How to make DIY Halloween Candles

Paint the candle holders.


This project would go much faster if you used spray paint. I didn’t have any black available so I just went with acrylic paint. It works just fine but will require a good 4 coats to cover the glass holders thoroughly.


Once you have the holders painted you can move on to the candles or vice versa.


All I did to paint the candles was to put some painter's tape around the area I didn’t want to be painted and started brushing the paint on.


I didn’t really measure so my lines aren’t exactly even or straight but I think for Halloween that is ok.

You’re done! Once everything is dry you can place the candles in their holders and enjoy.


We really enjoy the Beetlejuice vibe these candles give off.

If this candle isn't your style you can always print out any Halloween design and put it right onto a candle easily with tissue paper.
