It's truly the little things in life that make me happy. I had been waiting for the longest time for a dollar store to open up near our house. Finally, we have two! We actually have one in walking distance from our house, but it's a total dive and the store itself is a little creepy. So I recently took a ride to one of the new dollar stores to check it out. I found a bunch of stuff and a little inspiration while I was there, too!
I love finding dollar store crafts on Pinterest. Before I went to the dollar store, Halloween inspiration struck me and I decided that I needed to find plastic snakes. I found a whole bag of them, plus some large plastic insects. My initial idea was to spray paint the snakes black and wrap them around a candle. I had planned on making the candles myself, but made it way easier by purchasing a couple white prayer candles instead.
The black and white theme of these candles gives them a "creepy chic" feel. They are perfectly frightening for lighting up your Halloween table and can easily be put together in just a few simple steps! If flies and spiders aren't your thing, spray paint some plastic mice black and glue them on instead! I definitely recommend making one with slithery snakes, though. They make a witching cool candle!
SUPPLIES
- 2 white prayer candles
- Plastic insects
- Plastic snakes
