Nicely nicely! Is that hot glue for the dripage? What size batteries does it run on?

Did you make that? If so you never cease to amaze me with your talent on creating Halloween decor, you should seriously look into creating decorations for a company. I can't distinguish from the overpriced stuff I see in stores and the things you have shown on here, except yours might look a little better! Keep up the good work and please keep posting pictures!

Thanks!

yes I made it, it's a PVC section filled with great stuff foam then covered in hot glue, I used white thread to hang off the bottom then covered that in a few layers of glue drippings, then a battery operated tea light is inserted in the middle.

there are tutorials on youtube and other places how to make these, I like the way this one looks and it only takes patience and no glue strings.........thats the hard part for me, the glue stings :(

we'll it looks great. I might try to make something like that this weekend, but it will probably turn out to be a disaster. If only I had an ounce of the talent you have at making decorations, maybe I could make something that is recognizable :lol: . If your making anything else please let us know.

Spooky, you are really talented!
These candlesticks look great!!
You should sell them to Spirit or even try your hand at stage decoration or props.
I think you could go anywhere with it.

I'm all thumbs with crafts, I always have been.

yes this is really good!! i would love to have a few of these :)
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

Easy for you to say, Spooky. I can hardly sew on a button without losing a pint of blood!

A pint of blood would look quite good on a homemade pvc Great Stuff flicker candle.
