Looking for a quick and easy Halloween costume? Why not dress as a candle? This candle flame headband is relatively easy and inexpensive to make, and there are so many different types of candles that you can really make the costume your own. Maybe even match a candle you have, like I did with this bleeding candle.
Materials:
*Headband
*One sheet orange felt
*One sheet yellow felt
*Fabric marker or fabric chalk
*Scissors
*All purpose adhesive
Directions:
*Fold a sheet of orange felt in half and draw a freehand flame shape using the fabric marker or chalk. The base of the flame should touch the fold line. You'll want the base of the flame to be about an inch thick.
*Keeping the felt folded in half, cut out the flame shape. Make sure that the base of the flame remains connected. In other words, when you finish cutting out the flame, if you unfold the shape, you should have two flame shapes connected together at the base.
*Fold a sheet of yellow felt in half and draw a smaller flame shape. This time around, you won't want the two shapes to remain connected, so you may want to draw a little bit above the fold line.
*Keeping the felt folded in half, cut out the yellow flame. This time around, you should have two distinct flame shapes.
*Glue the yellow flames to the orange flames.
*Wrap the flame around the headband such that the base sits against the underside of the headband. Glue the base to the headband and then glue the two halves of felt together, yellow flame sides facing outward. Let dry.
