I bought the glass cylinders and the candle sticks from Dollar Tree. A couple of the candle sticks were shorter to make my finish candle holders varying heights. I used Gorilla Glue to attach the two together. With an assortment of skulls, sparkly trims and feathers I decorated the containers. No two were alike.
On several of them I used a sparkly tulle and attached a felt skull coaster from Wilton - found at Joanne's. I then attached all the different trims to create seven different designs. Some of the expensive trims I bought in June at 75% off...who buys skulls in June...I do!
