Garden candles give off a beautiful light and create a great atmosphere when it starts to get dark in the garden and on the balcony. These garden candles are easy to make using terracotta pots and a plug-in device that is moulded.

How to design the garden candles:
Protect your work area with a handicraft mat. First coat the inside and outside of your terracotta pots with clay sealant. This will make unglazed terracotta pots waterproof.

Mix approx. 3 tablespoons of Raysin with water to make a creamy mixture and fill the "stick candle holder" casting mould to approx. 5 mm below the edge. Immediately after filling the mixture, place the terracotta pot (with the underside) on the casting mould. Pour the rest of the casting compound into the pot. After approx. 1 hour of drying time, you can carefully remove the candle holder from the mould. Now you can spray the pot with white spray paint. To achieve a special candlelight effect later, paint the inside of your pots with Viva Decor Maya Stardust.

Once dry, fill them with tea lights, candle sand or wax for candles as desired.

Finally, plug the beech round stick into the stick candle holder. You can now place your candle torches in the garden soil.
