Attach the figures: Coat the small figures with Candle Liner glue and press them firmly onto the candle to achieve a permanent result.

Elegant stick candle holder made from Keraflott

Cut out the circle: Cut out a circle with a diameter of 7 cm from the pinwheel foil and place it in the center of the casting mold. This creates a kandelaar for a pillar candle.
Keraflott mixture: Mix about 4 heaped tablespoons of Keraflott with water to make a creamy mixture. Pour this into the mold and tap it gently on a firm surface to ensure even distribution and avoid air bubbles.
Demolding: After a hour remove the casting from the mould and remove the pinwheel foil circle. Allow the holder to dry completely to achieve optimum strength. Smooth rough edges with sandpaper.
Composition: Pour some colored sand into the candle holder bowl and place a pillar candle on top.

Charming moose figures made from wax

Melt the wax: Heat the composition wax at a low temperature in a melting ladle or melting pot. Use about 50g for the large moose shape and 20g for the small one.
Coloring: Add wax coloring granules according to your color preference and stir in well.
Prepare the wick: Thread the wick through a needle and pierce it at the bottom of the leg of the silicone mould . Pull the wick through, pierce the antlers again and keep the wick taut. Jewelry pliers can be used to help remove the needle.
Pouring and demolding: Fill the molds with the liquid wax and leave to dry at room temperature for 2-3 hours. Then carefully remove the figures from the mold and trim the wicks with scissors.
