If you’re looking for a last minute Halloween craft idea, these easy DIY Halloween candlestick frames are easy and cheap. If you’re like me and don’t want to spend a lot of money on something you put out for approximately a month a year, these frames are it.
You can use them year after year and it’s a fun DIY Halloween project to do with your kids, too.
It’s a great DIY project to use Dollar Tree or Dollar Store buys, very economical. Here’s what you will need for your easy DIY Halloween Candlestick Frames…
Materials:
2 Candlesticks (from thrift store, dollar store or from around the house)
2 Black 4×6 Photo Frames (from dollar store)
Black Spray Paint
White Acrylic Paint
Craft Paint Brush
Plastic Bats (bag of 6 from dollar store)
Hot Glue Gun
Extra Glue Sticks
Directions:
Step 1:
Spray paint candlesticks. It may take 3 or 4 coats to cover all the areas.
Step 2:
While candlesticks are drying, paint white stripes along the border of your picture frames.
Step 3:
After all paint has dried, apply a couple of decent sized drops of hot glue. Center the frame on your glue drops and hold in place for about 10 seconds until glue cools completely.
Step 4:
Apply generous amount of hot glue to the back of the bat, place in desired position on frame. Hold into place for about 10 seconds until the glue cools completely.
Step 5:
Clean up any glue strings that are visible and add your photo to frame!
