Supplies You Need For This Project
✨ Most people grab these three items
Pillar Candles
These thick, freestanding candles provide a long burn time and do not require a separate holder. They are excellent for creating elegant table centerpieces, adding a warm ambient glow to your home decor, or serving as a sturdy base for custom candle-decorating projects.
Wax Paper
Wax paper is a water-resistant paper used for a variety of purposes, from cooking to crafting. One side is regular paper, while the other is coated with a thin layer of wax to help resist moisture and prevent materials from sticking.
Crayola
These classic wax coloring tools are a must-have staple for any craft room. They provide smooth, vibrant colors that are perfect for drawing, shading, and exploring fun DIY art techniques like wax melting or texture rubbing.
These products are all listed on our DIY JOY Amazon store, so you can order and know exactly what you will get and when. We do earn a small commission on these links and very much appreciate your support ❤️
Quick Steps
- Prep your space: Lay down some scrap paper, set your white candle right in the center, and light the wick.
- Melt the crayon: Peel a red crayon completely bare and carefully hold the tip directly over the flame.
- Create the drips: As soon as it melts, quickly run the crayon around the top edge of your candle so the red wax drips down the sides.
- Cool and display: Let the wax harden, add it to your spooky Halloween centerpiece, and light it up!
