It's almost that fabulously ghoulish time of year again - Halloween!
When the rain is pitter-pattering against the windows outside and you've got a spare afternoon with nothing to do - turn your hand to some crafty goodness in the name of home decoration.
Here's how to make this charming little cauldron shaped candle holder,complete with leafy 'flames' -
Got the PVA ready?!
The things you will need :
-A small black or white bowl (not plastic - you don't need me to tell you why not.)
-Turning leaves from your garden - Small enough to fit in a row of around 4-5.
-Black craft wire.
-A strong glue of some sort.
-Halloween themed paper shapes (I used bats.)
-Tealights!
Start off with by laying down some protective measures (namely yesterday's newspaper) and begin to stick the halloween shapes onto your bowl at intervals with your glue.Create a pattern or a scene - whatever you fancy! Once the shapes have dried into place,flip the bowl upside down and arrange your leaves then stick them to the rim.When they're done,flip the bowl back up and give it a couple of minutes to set.
While the glue is drying on your leaves,cut a few lengths of black wire and twist them together in a random binding,to create a muddled,rustic feel.Then create small loops in the wire on each end and glue these to the sides of the bowl so that it appears as a cauldron handle.
Add a little candle and you're done!
Hope you enjoy this really simple and quick little craft project.These cauldrons would be great in larger proportions to put little sweeties in for Trick or Treaters too.
Have a great rest of your day!
