8 DIY Halloween Candles To Decorate Your House

October 4, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

This round is all about Spooky Halloween and all of these handmade candles will add some fun and fright to your decorations.

Whether you’re creating a spooky atmosphere for Halloween or just looking to add a touch of warmth to your space, candles are a versatile and cost-effective solution. With the right supplies, you can create your own candles that are tailored to your style and fragrance preferences.

Most of the candles in this roundup are made with basic candle supplies, such as wax and candle wicks. You can also repurpose old candles or use store-bought pillar candles as a base for your designs. With a little bit of creativity, you can transform these basic materials into unique and beautiful candles that are perfect for any occasion.

If you’re looking to add some festive flair to your home for Halloween, consider adding pumpkin spice scented oil to your candles. This warm and spicy scent will create a cozy and inviting atmosphere in any room. Alternatively, you can experiment with other fall scents like cinnamon, nutmeg, or apple cider to create a cozy and comforting environment that’s perfect for the season.

Here are some of my favorite oil blends for Halloween Candles (and other scented crafts too)

Witches’ Brew: A combination of patchouli, bergamot, and black pepper essential oils. This blend is perfect for a spooky Halloween candle that will give off an earthy, spicy scent.

Haunted Forest: A blend of cedarwood, pine, and clove essential oils. This mix creates a woodsy aroma that will transport you to a haunted forest.

Ghostly Mist: A combination of lavender, vanilla, and frankincense essential oils. This blend creates a calming, relaxing scent that is perfect for Halloween.

Candy Corn: A mix of vanilla, orange, and clove essential oils. This blend smells like the iconic Halloween candy and will bring a sweet aroma to your home.

Vampire’s Lair: A blend of blood orange, cinnamon, and peppermint essential oils. This mix creates a spicy and invigorating scent that will awaken your senses and give your candle a spooky twist.
