I've been lurking for a a couple of years on this forum and finally decided to try out a project and come out of lurkdome. I followed the PVC Candle tutorials using Great Stuff and made 18 multiple height and multiple width candles. The only way in which I differed from the fantastic instructions from all the great prop masters here is that I painted them differently - in an effort to achieve a realisitc, spooky looking set of candles I can use inside the house for years to come.
I ended up investing very little money to make these - less than $15 since we already had some of the supplies around the house - but spent probably 3 times as long in making them since my final painting was different. No spray paint was used. I foam brushed and paint brushed on multiple layers of colors starting with white then a chocolate milk colored brown, then dark brown, then final strokes of more white, yellow and cream.
I think they turned out okay for a first time prop/craft. I definitely need to work on the inside candle holder area on a few of them, but all in all, they're definitely going to be a great addition to our inside decor this year.
What are your thoughts?
