This little cauldron is just a cast iron serving bowl<\/a>. You can also get cast iron soup bowls<\/a> which feature cauldrony wire handles.<\/p>\n Use a gel candle base to create a transparent “brew,” colored and scented however you like (this site<\/a> goes into some detail about making gel candles, and there are lots of other tutorials a Google away). Then embed brew ingredients in the gel. You can use just about anything nonflammable or made of candle wax. There are commercial embeds like spiders<\/a> and bats<\/a>, or you could cast your own objects like rats<\/a> or frogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n Paint mystical symbols on the cauldron if desired, and you’re done. These would be cute “place cards,” too: Paint each guest’s name on the side, or write it on a card and tie it to the handle with ribbon or raffia (include a warning to remove the card before lighting the candle).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here’s a fast and easy project: Candles that look like a witch’s brew.
