Salt Dough Candle Holders

Using the recipe for salt dough, you can easily make this candle Christmas craft.

You will need

Candle holders method

1. Set oven to 180 degrees Celsius or 350 Farenheit.
2. Roll out the dough until it is about 10mm thick. Cut out round circles of dough with the cutter or glass.
3. Cut out a circle in the centre of the dough a little wider than the end of the candles, using a bottle top or small pastry cutter. The dough now looks like a doughnut!
4. Decorate the circle with leaves, berries or small fruit made from the dough or twist a roll of dough into a snake coiled around the hole. Stick the shapes down with a little water.
5. Bake for about 1h30 until the rings are hard.
6. When they are cool, place them on the card and cut circles to stick onto the bottom of the rings.
7. Paint the rings and when the paint has dried then varnish them.
8. Use the sticky putty to stick the candle to the card in the centre.

2. Cut up the white plastic container into tiny pieces to resemble snow.
