I love making my own decorations for Christmas, Halloween and Easter! I get a lot of inspiration from Pinterest, Dollar Tree, Hobby Lobby, Grandin Road and other places like those! I also get a lot of inspiration from Disney, Tim Burton and Dr Seuss. I love the whimsical style and I also like to combine vintage and modern.

[@karinasanchez3285]

Beautiful ❤️. A question came to mind: how do you open and close the candles? I didnt see how to acess the switch? Thanks for this awesome share 🙌

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

Thank you! ❤️ On my candles I twist the bottom to turn it on and off, and also to change batteries. So whenever I want to do that I just lift the candle out of the tube 😃

[@karinasanchez3285]

Ohhh 😌.. perfect! Thank you for this info … 🙌

Yeah I would like to know the same thing. This is a cool candle labara

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

[@debs_boho_jungle]

Awesome! Love your creativity. We make our own Halloween decor too to incorporate with bought items. Favorite time of year!! Happy Spooky season!🧡🖤

[@Gunnr1236]

Amazing project!! Curious as to how many hours you had in this - it is obvious you have experience, so you can do this faster than I with little/no experience - but I'd like to know how far out I'd have to start a project like this for a haunt I work with. Thanks for sharing your talent!!

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

I think I worked on it on and off for about 2 weeks. But I have no idea how many hours. There is a lot of drying time in between though. The clay takes about 2-3 days to completely dry and I waited about 1 day between adding the different layers. 😊

[@colemyst]

Great idea!!

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

Thank you! ❤️

[@tammysue53]

Amazing!

[@patsyhune6329]

How did you connect the lights? Great work, I want to try this soon...

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

They're battery operated so I just slide them into the tube and then whenever I want to switch them on/off or change the battery I just pick them up again 😊

[@themasterbodybuilder9047]

Very nice tree. What kind of clay did you use. I need the brand and where to get it. I tryed to make one and the clay would not harden and the other dry hard and quick but cracked. Please I need HELP.

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

There is a link to the exact clay I use in the description box below the video 😊

[@travisrhoton7013]

Just love this. Where did you get your wire?

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

There are links to all products I used in the description box 😊

[@leaellis2198]

👍

[@TJ-sj6yy]

Look Great! - About how long to make from start to finish?

[@jillianingram239]

I'm curious about that as well. I might end up needing about 10-12 of them 🤣

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

I think it took a couple of weeks, since it's a lot of drying time in between 😊

[@junquecousteau]

What is the finished height approximately? What length are the candles? Thanks! It’s amazing!

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

I think it's maybe about 40-50 cm tall, maybe a little taller. The candles are about 28 cm long 😊 Thank you so much! ❤️

[@robindonnelly]

This is amaZING! I absolutely LOVE IT! I love creating Halloween decor and ephemera. Thank you for sharing your talent! I so want to make this now. I have a relatively new YT channel and have some larger projects scheduled. Can I ask how you do the video graphics on top of your video? Like the words and intro? I'm not sure what they are called so I can't even type in the correct words in the search to learn. I'm subscribing! Thank you again!

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

Thank you so much! ❤️ I make all my graphics in Photoshop and then I use Final Cut Pro X to animate them. The descriptive text is made directly in Final Cut Pro. 😊

[@robindonnelly]

@@TheSecretCraftRoom thank you so much!

[@nicolehalloween365]

What clay do you use?

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

There is a list of products in the description box. 😊 The clay is called DAS air dry clay.

[@bluebacon8011]

what was the liquid in the bottle you used? great work!!

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

Thank you! 😃 What bottle do you mean? If you mean the one I'm spraying with in the end, it's hairspray to keep the creepy cloth from fraying. 😊

[@bluebacon8011]

@@TheSecretCraftRoom sorry, i meant the yellow bottle when you were applying the clay to thicken the trunk

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

@@bluebacon8011 It's white glue. I use it sometimes to get the fresh clay to stick better to the dry surface. 🙂 Usually I explain that in the video, but I must have missed it in this video. So sorry about that! 🙂

[@bluebacon8011]

@@TheSecretCraftRoom Thank you! i was planning on making a Medusa head with a few of the snakes holding candles!
