I decided to create an idea which used the idea of shadows - making a paper filter on top of a candle to create a similar effect of shadows on the space around it. 

Although paper wasn't the most ideal material as I noticed it got burnt by the candle.

This was the effect I got with the lights off in a corner of my bedroom - the light projected up against it creating the shapes I had cut out of the template.

There's a close up of it also.
