How disappointing... not a single drop of blood

Well.... I ran across a really cute cheap Hollween decoration on a blog the other day. Some cheap thift store candle holders and red candles were spray painted black. Very Halloweeny looking... BUT ... the best part was when the candles were lit the red wax melted, dripped and oozed like blood. COOL idea I thought! So I went to the thrift store on my lunch hour the other day and found a very cool old candleabra and red candles for about $3... I was SO excited.... I was going to make bleeding candles! I took the candleabra apart and spray painted all the pieces and the candles. I put it all back together and it looked great. I made sure I didn't put the spray paint too heavy on the candles cuz.... I wanted them to bleed LOTS! .... BUT....

to my GREAT disappointment... NOT ONE DROP OF BLOOD.... I couldn't even spill some out by tipping the candles.... my only theory is that I ended up with dripless candles... who would of thought I could buy DRIPLESS candles at the thrift store. Oh well.... on to the next project.
