Let’s DIY
- Spray it Black: Begin by spray painting the saucer and caldron with your Rustoelum black textured paint. Give them a good even coat, and let them dry completely.
- Secure Your Caldron: Once dry, use your hot glue gun to secure the caldron right in the center of the saucer.
- Stick It: Now comes the whimsical part! Take your sticks and arrange them around the caldron in a playful and charming manner, echoing the feel of a witch’s brew bubbling over. Once you’re happy with the layout, hot glue them in place.
- A Touch of Moss: Scatter craft moss over the base of the sticks, allowing it to nestle naturally and give that earthy, old-world charm.
- Light It Up: Lastly, place your chosen candle into the caldron. As it burns, the glow will reflect beautifully against the black textured paint and mossy sticks, creating a magical ambiance.
And voilà! You’ve crafted yourself a terrain-inspired Illume Caldron Candle, Witch’s Brew candle holder.
