What I love about this project idea is the fact that it’s inexpensive and very convenient to make, especially if you don’t have much time for Halloween decorating, plus, they look so adorable and can fit any theme that you have planned for your house.

You can also choose candles of different colors if you like! Watch the video tutorial below to see how it’s done and read the instructions to learn how to make the candles bendy without melting them.

Just look at these DIY ghost candles! If you saw my stories this weekend, these are what I was trying to make! I finally found the perfect “recipe” so to speak and was able to make all the bendy ghosts! Grab the full tutorial below: To make your own, you need paraffin wax taper candles (these were the inexpensive box of 15 from Michaels). Then I put them in a warm water bath (just the hottest water from your tap). let them sit in the hot water for 5 min, then dumped it out a refilled with more hot water from the tap. Let it sit another 5 min, and then did it again and let it sit in the fresh hot water for 10 min. This gets the candles really soft without melting the wax. Then I just used my hands in the warm water tkk on very slowly bend the candles. The video is sped up to 8x, if that tells you how slow I was bending them. Once bent, I dried them off and used an acrylic paint pen to draw on little faces. [just love them so much!! Burning or not, they are the perfect addition to any Halloween decorations! #halloweendecorations #halloweendiy #dollartreediy #makeitwithmichaels #candlemaking #halloweencrafts

Fill a container with warm water, then place the candles, and let them soak for about 5 minutes. Remove the candles, then dump the water out, and refill the container with more hot water.

Step 2

This time, let the candles sit for about 10 minutes, then start slowly and gently bending the candles to the shape that you want, and let them dry completely out of the water bath. Once dried completely, draw the eyes and mouth to the candle using an acrylic paint pen, then place the candles in a candleholder, and light them up or just use them as decor.
