For several months now I have been wanting to do some fun Halloween decorations. I didn't do much last year, I'm not sure why but I'm sure there was a good reason. But for this year I REALLY wanted to get/make some fun, spooky decorations.
One thing I really wanted was some fun candle holders. I looked in numerous thrift stores for weeks and didn't find any I liked (I'm sure many Halloween enthusiasts had similar plans in mind). But I finally scored a couple fun candle holders that would fit my spooktastic needs.
The brass candle holder in the middle I have no idea how it was originally used. It seems like there was no base, yet there was no way to hang it either, so I got a different candle holder and used a TON of E6000 to keep it in place. Once that was done I went crazy with the spray paint. Every time my husband hears that tin can shaking his eyes start rolling! He'll never stop me and my spray paintin' ways.
I still have some finishing touches I want to add, like antiquing it up a bit and adding some cobwebs but wanted to show it off. Better now than Nov. 1st!
