Thread: Sconces and Candelabra From Dollar Store Torsos

Tweet

Hi,

Halloween is getting closer , time to finish off props .

This is the last of the Dollar store skeleton torsos I bought . The chandelier/candelabra used three of the torsos. Tried to make these lights so they could be used as table , wall or standing fixtures.

Daylight photo , used as center piece.


Wall sconces used as table lights.


Finished candelabra , flicker bulbs and battery lighting in eyes. The skulls at the base are the cheap Dollar store ones that came on the plastic rods.


More photos in the Forum gallery .

Thanks for looking .

Thank you halloween71 , here is a pic of what they look like when you see them in the store (I added the lights in the eyes) . They are about 12 inches high by 6 inches wide .

Thanks SkellyCat . I am not sure where the idea came from , but I guess it would be a combination of other Forum members work and horror movies in general .

Hi LastHouse .
The skulls are part of the torso and are probably about 5 inches X 4 inches .
