9. The Bleeding Candles
Add a touch of gothic macabre to your tablescape with DIY bleeding candles. Take plain white pillar candles and melt a red wax candle over the tops, letting the red wax drip down the sides like fresh blood. When lit, the contrast between the white wax and the crimson drips is visually striking. For an engaging video tutorial, film the process of the red wax cascading down the clean white pillars in ultra-high-definition, focusing on the satisfying textures and rich colors that make DIY videos so popular.
