This is how you make the beautiful tea light holders:
Concrete with white creative casting slip
Mix approx. 3 tablespoons of concrete with water to a creamy mass. Pour the mixture into the silicone mould and tap out the air bubbles.
Tip: You can set the mould at an angle (tealight mould square) so that you have a sloping gradient between the two casting masses.
Clean the mixing cup. Put approx. 4 tablespoons of white creative casting powder in it and mix it with water to a creamy mass.
For a straight transition, let the concrete dry before pouring white mass into the mould. For a more uneven transition, pour the white creative casting slip onto the wet concrete.
After approx. 2 hours, the castings can be removed from the mould.
Allow the "round tealight mould" to dry for approx. 12 hours.
You will need approx. 9 tablespoons of rapeseed wax lentils for one mould. Melt the wax in the universal melting pot. Clamp the wooden wick into the holder, shorten it with scissors and place it in the centre of the tealight mould. Fill the melted wax into the mould and let it harden.
White creative casting slip with colour concentrate
Mix about 7 tablespoons of white creative casting powder with water to make a creamy mixture.
For a white tea light holder, pour the mixture into the mould, tap out the air bubbles and leave to dry.
For a two-coloured holder, first put a small amount of the mixture into the mould, let it dry and then fill the mould with coloured casting slip. To do this, add the desired colour concentrate to the white creative casting slip and stir well.
For the marbling effect, mix the casting slip as usual. Add colour concentrate as desired. In our example we used 5 drops. Stir roughly and pour the mixture into the mould. After about 2 hours, you can take the castings out of the mould.
Allow the "round tealight mould" to dry for another 12 hours.
You will need approx. 9 tablespoons of rapeseed wax lentils for one tea light mould. Melt them in a universal melting pot. Shorten a candle wick with scissors or use a metal base, waxed, and place the wick in the centre of the tealight mould. Fill the melted wax into the mould and let it harden.
Decoration
Use the motif punch to punch out a circle from the kraft paper and write your desired text on it. Use the hole punch to punch a small hole through which the jute cord can be pulled to tie it to the tea light holder.
For the "square tea light holder" we applied some craft glue and wrapped a jute cord around it.
