Lace Candles


October is here and Halloween is on the mind.  This year, I'm anxious to transform my home into a stylishly haunted parlor.  As always, Halloween crafting in my house needs to be SIMPLE and fabulous (of course).  I need to be able to start, complete, and clean-up my Halloween craft in a very short time frame - ideally while my little guy is at school and after I've gotten a workout in for the day.  This doesn't leave a whole lot of time.  Oh, and did I mention it needs to be done on the cheap?!?!  Halloween 2012 is on a strict budget!

Enter lace candles.  On a recent visit to the bookstore, I was inspired by an article I spotted in Country Living.  Not my usual read, but I was inspired none-the-less.  Using supplies I had in my house (note the partially burned candle and well loved sponge brush), I recreated my own version. 

Voila!!  I'm very happy with the outcome and will be continue the spookification of our home soon (i.e. tomorrow).  I hope you're inspired by this fabulously simple idea!
