Halloween is my second favorite holiday!💀🎃👻

Christmas being first of course!🎅🎄🦌

So when it comes time to decorate, I'm all in!

Finnabair and Redesign With Prima have some awesome fall and Halloween molds and transfers that I've been playing with.

These candles turned out so stinking perfect! In my opinion at least. And, it's super easy to do!

spooky halloween candles using silicone molds and paper clay

First, gather your supplies...

You'll need -

A plain LED candle

Finnabair's Skull And Bones silicone mold

DAS Air Dry Clay or Creative Paper Clay

Corn starch

Wood glue

Paintbrushes

And black paint

Dust the mold with corn starch and tap out any excess

Grab some clay and squish it in your fingers for a bit to warm it up, then press it into the mold. Be sure to press it down well into all the little details, remove any excess clay and clean up the edges.

Then flip the mold over and slowly peel it back so that the clay applique pops out. You might have to carefully help it along if it is sticking to the mold

Then carefully flip the clay applique over in your hand so the backside is facing up. Drizzle a bit of glue on the back and then use a paint brush to spread a light even layer all over. Then carefully place it down onto the candle. Very gently press the clay down so that it's adhering to the candle. Try not to press too hard so that you don't get fingerprints in the clay.
