Candles...

I'm trying a simple project.  Nothing everyone hasn't done already.  I am doing nothing new...just doing.  I looked at some "how-to" ideas.  Seems everyone does pretty much the same.  I wanted white candles.  I ended up with black 2" PVC.  It came in small pieces rather than the 8' length.  I bought the transparent glue sticks.  Didn't think it would matter anyway because I planned on painting them.

So here's what happened to my white, painted candles.  I used transparent glue on black PVC and the Mister liked them that way.  He says they will look great under a blacklight.  I say....but I want white.  I pulled out the blacklight and .........he was right.  Crazy...

With a blacklight...

With no extra lighting...

With light from a lamp...

Can't wait to try them out this Halloween in the graveyard.....

  1. I just want to go on the record as sayin I hate you. Now I have to make some regular white PVC candles and now some of these awesome UV reactive candles! Good job on a very cool prop!

  2. Thanks ~ the next ones will be much longer with the dripping glue only on the top third ~ that should make them look like floating candle wax with no candle ~ hopefully...

  3. Great work....each form of lighting offers its own piece...I like that. Thanks for sharing your project.

    Cheers!
