6. Crystal Ball Candlesticks with Floating Eyeballs
Combine classic elegance with a touch of the macabre by crafting these mesmerizing crystal ball candlesticks. Source inexpensive glass globes or clear Christmas ornaments, removing the metal hangers. Fill them with water, a drop of glycerin to slow down movement, and a realistic acrylic eyeball. Seal the opening securely with silicone or hot glue. Mount these globes atop sleek, tall black wooden or brass candlesticks. When placed on a dining table or entryway console, the glass magnifies the floating eyeball inside, creating a creepy, shifting gaze that follows your guests as they walk past. Surround the bases with faux cobwebs and dripping black taper candles to complete the eerie vignette.
