This fun DIY black flame candle craft inspired by Hocus Pocus is super easy to make and a fun addition to any Halloween decorations or witch themed party! Make it in minutes and light up a Hocus Pocus movie night with style and spooky glow!
Start by painting the outline of the flame of your flameless candle black, leaving area in the middle for the light to shine through.
black acrylic craft paint, 1 white flameless pillar candle
While the paint is drying, print the black flame candle printable pattern onto a piece of vellum paper. Once it’s printed and the ink dry, use scissors or a paper cutter to cut the design to fit your candle height.
1 piece translucent vellum paper
Carefully use the tape runner or adhesive to tape the velum around the candle. Try to keep your tape line as small as possible so you can’t see it taped on and try to put it at the back of the candle.
Burn the wax candle and carefully pour drippings of the wax down the edge of the flameless candle. Place a piece of scrap paper underneath to catch any drippings.
1 white wax candle, 1 piece scrap paper
Let the wax dry completely on the candle then enjoy.
Notes
Place a piece of scrap paper on your work surface before burning the wax candle. The scrap paper can catch any extra pieces of wax that don’t make it onto the candle.Make these for fun Hocus Pocus themed gifts, movie night favors, or just for spooky Halloween decorations to add to your porch or movie room.Randomly pour the wax down the candle instead of trying to do it in a specific pattern. The randomness of it looks so much better than trying to recreate a pattern since real candles don’t burn in patterns.
