Buy inexpensive candles. Many of these crafts start with commercially made candles. You should keep your eyes out for candles that are inexpensive and all one color. Whites, blacks, and orange are all great options. Buy a variety of pillar candles and long skinny candles.
Use battery operated tea lights. You can buy many battery operated tea lights for super cheap. You can add them to candle holders and you won’t have to worry about catching anything on fire.
Check your local dollar store for craft supplies. Not only can you find cheap candles, but you can also find other inexpensive craft supplies. Halloween paper, streamers, washi tape, or other items may come in handy.
