This is the inspirational piece. Very plain but I loved how the hand wraps around it. I think it cost like $20.
I had this candelabra that I use every Halloween. Notice the red candle drippings from my "bloody" candles.
Now, since I made this before I started this blog, I don't really have pictures to show you the exact process, but I can walk you through it. First, I scraped off as much candle wax as I could. Lol! I'm just kidding I spray painted right over it with a can of left over black paint. What do I look like-a perfectionist?
The skeleton hand came from a bag of skeleton parts that I usually scatter over the front of my makeshift graveyard. No one is going to miss it. So I took that hand and spray painted it in shiny silver. Then, I used my glue gun to attach it to the candelabra. The bloody candles were made by painting the natural candle drippings with red paint.
I love this now. I think I even like it better than the one from the store. And guess what? This one was free and made from crap that I was totally over. Yea viva Halloween!
