Light a red candle and position it atop the white pillar candle. Allow the molten red wax to drip onto the white candle, building layers over previous drops. Let the wax overlap naturally until you achieve the desired volume of realistic "blood drops." This proven technique from crafter Rennai Hoefer delivers a chilling, authentic effect.

Secure the candles in holders inside a fireplace screen for safe, supervised burning and maximum spooky impact.
