you should do something with the other end. something other than just where it was cut. other than that its pretty good for your second project.

One of the subtle aspects of a snuffer is that it should work without touching the candle.  The flame runs out of O2 and goes out which is why you try not to leave any gaps for air to escape in the top piece.  Hence the often bell shaped piece to "snuff" it.  Making a clean spiral and then forge brazing the edges would be an ornamental way to accomplish it with your design.  (I get to meditate on a good example of a snuffer every service I attend at church.)
