    The weather outside may still qualify as sweltering, but that doesn't mean that we're not looking a little further down the calendar to when there will be a nice crisp breeze in the air as the leaves begin to fall and spooky decorations make their way from the boxes they've been packed away in and out into our homes and yards.

    If you'd like to add something new to your collection of frightful decor, but want to go a bit easy on the whole "frightful" bit, you may want to checkout these spooky cute DIY candles that one TikToker is making ahead of the fall season.

    We have a hunch these are about the be the hit of the season!

    It doesn't take much to take these candles from boring to boo -ing, according to the video shared by @casagrella . All you need is some white candles, a sharpie, and warm water.

    As you can see, the rest really takes care of itself! All you need is the perfect candelabra to show these ghostly creations off, which you can probably pick up at a thrift store or yard sale if you don't already have something like this at home!

    If you're already in the mood to start creating Halloween decor , you may want to see what other DIYs you can do ahead of spooky season.

    It's all about the lighting with this candle craft that involves taking a bunch of PVC pipe and turning it into the most deadly cool looking candelabra we've ever seen. Now, if you've ever seen @thenavagepatche's work in the past, you know that this DIYer knows what he's doing when he gets working on a craft, so it's no wonder that he was able to take on a project this epic on his own.

    However, for some of us more novice crafters, this may feel a bit overwhelming, especially when you see how he wields that table saw to make all those cuts.

    Fortunately, you can actually make this project a bit more newbie friendly if you really want to, and swap out the PVC pipes for some old toilet paper or paper towel rolls. As for the rest, well, we think just about anyone can handle the painting and hot gluing! Go ahead, give it a try!

    It's Time To Start Halloween Crafting

    Sure, it may only be July but anyone with kids knows that these next few months are going to absolutely fly by in a haze of back-to-school prep, so now really is the best time to work on those holiday crafts that you want to make!
