If you’re looking to make a Harry Potter-themed Christmas tree, one of the trickiest yet most important details to nail are the floating candles that so spectacularly decorate the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Jen Yates, creator of EPBOT (previously featured here) and her husband John have come up with an awesome way to replicate those enchanted candles and they created a step-by-step tutorial so that you can do it too.

The candles are battery-operated with the top and bottoms removed. Faux wax drips were added using hot glue and then the candles were painted and artificially aged. The magical floating effect is achieved by attaching the candles to the ceiling with lengths of clear fishing line.

Click here for the complete tutorial.

For even more Harry Potter-themed DIY Christmas goodness, check out the beautiful Golden Snitch Ornaments that Jen made last year.

I really, REALLY want to make a batch of the floating candles and have them hanging throughout the house. HOWEVER, Vlad, Kitty of Chaos and Destroyer of Content Repositories, means it would be a really bad idea.

10 facts about and around sandal that ought to make you fucking quiver before him:

  1. two kinds of people enchant in da: dwarves and tranquil mages. dwarves enhance weapons and stuff while tranquil mages give them magical properties, eg a permanently sharp blade vs a burning sword. dwarves cannot do magic. which brings us to item #2
  2. sandal froze an entire darkspawn ogre. now, had this been with a frost rune it would have been extremely suspicious to begin with because dwarves don’t do those kinds of runes, yeah? except this fucker willingly admits that he didn’t do it by enchanting something. so how?! how did he do it?! 
  3. it’s like cluedo- sandal in the deeproads with ????
  4. HE HAS BURNED HOUSES DOWN WITH ENCHANTMENTS. DWARVES ENHANCE WEAPONS AND ARMOR, THEY DO NOT USE MAGIC
  5. sandal was found in the deeproads, so we assume he was put there by his castless biological mother. what we actually know is that sandal came from the deeproads. that leaves A LOT of possible origins. titans, old gods, born to wardens who heard the calling, who knows.
  6. some carta dwarves talk about him looking like the bastard son of one of the aeducans that went missing, supposedly the mother was an elf or a human. doesn’t explain why he was in the deeproads though
  7. they talk about him being lyrium addled but lyrium is the blood of titans. dwarves aren’t even supposed to be affected by regular lyrium so why would he be if he was a regular dwarf? supports the aeducan theory.
  8. he talks about dreaming about what’s most likely flemeth. which should also scare you bc the only other times dreams are brought up like that in DA are 1. darkspawn dreams had by wardens 2. freaky fade fuckery 3. that one time mythal’s hosts grandson mentioned the old god soul he carried gave him dreams
  9.  ^the rant pictured above
  10. THE FACT THAT YOU CAN FIND HIS DIARY IN THE SHATTERED LIBRARY. BY A DEAD QUNARI. WHAT THE FUCK, SANDAL

Also bear in mind dwarves can’t dream (confirmed by Varric in Inqusition at least once) so why the fuck is he dreaming at all??!
