Psychedelic Candle Holders

Published by Sandra under Candles, Clay, General Edit This

Clay candle holderWe made these quick and easy candle holders with sculpey clay. You could also create flowers by hand or use cookie cutters or molds to make different shapes.

The insert says that the clay is suitable for children six years and up but I think a younger child could do it as long as they were supervised.

For these all we did was knead the clay until soft and then roll different colors out into snakes. Later we blended them all together and cut them into small circles. If you want to see more light, cut it thinner.
