Steps

  • Step 1

    Roll out a medium sized ball of Air Dry Clay on a piece of wax paper.

  • Step 2

    Create or download a cone shaped stencil on paper, cut out and place on top of rolled Air Dry Clay. Use a modeling tool to cut out the clay around the stencil.

  • Step 3

    Create a design in the Air Dry Clay using small cookie cutters, straws or other objects that can be used to create shapes.

  • Step 4

    Carefully roll the clay over to create a cone shape. If the cone does not stand up, add more clay to create thicker walls of the votive. Allow to dry overnight.

  • Step 5

    When the votive is completely dry, mix Silver Metallic paint and the Glitter Paint Medium together. Use a paintbrush to paint the votive. Use two or three coats to cover completely. Allow to dry.

  • Step 6

    When dry, use Glitter Glue to accent the cut out's of the votive. Allow to dry before displaying with a battery operated tea light!
