Bewitched

Hi everyone, 
Welcome to October 
and a cold, wet start to the month it is..
This is the puddle in our village car park 



We have a new Lavinia Challenge 
Our new theme is 
Bewitched 

Remember the winner is chosen at random and wins 
a £40 voucher to spend at Lavinia 

I thought I would create something a bit different today 
So we are going 
Halloween Candle 




I started off using some tissue paper 




Stamped the design 



I love to add colour too. Inks, gel pens etc 
Next tear around the edges 
This gives a better finish 




Then using brown paper wrapped tightly and a heat tool , 
I melted the tissue paper into the candle wax 





I added some sticklers glitter glue for extra sparkle 





I also like to burn the candle slightly for extra dripping wax….





Finally some embellishments and lights.
Look 





I would always recommend these as decorative candles…
Or burn them a little (supervised ) and then add a battery candle in to the hollow. 

I hope this month is a good one for us all 

Take care 
and big hugs 
Jo xxx
