Tea lights with 3D motifs made from textured paste

Step 1: Create 3D structures with the cream paste

Start your project by pouring the cream paste into a suitable silicone mould using a palette knife. Then leave the paste to air dry for around 12 hours to give it a firm shape. As soon as the Time to dry: is complete, carefully remove the paste from the mold. It is advisable to clean the edges thoroughly with tweezers to achieve a clean result.

Step 2: Adding colorful accents

To color your cream paste as desired, pour a small amount of the paste into a mini cup.

Then add your desired VBS colour concentrate and stir the mixture thoroughly until the color is evenly distributed. Once you have worked the color into the paste, close the cup with a lid. This will prevent the remaining paste from drying out and you can use it again later.

Step 3: Effective design with frosteffect paint

Now take a stippling brush and apply the VBS Frost-effect paint to the tea light jars. Then leave the paint to dry completely. The frosty surface gives the glasses a wintry look and enhances the atmospheric play of lights on the candles.

Step 4: Attach the Christmas trees

Glue the prepared Christmas trees to the jars with VBS handicraft glue to the jars. A practical tip: use rubber bands to hold the Christmas trees in place during the Time to dry: process Position hold them in place. This way you don't have to hold them in place for long and still achieve a firm result.

Step 5: Fill with candle sand

Once the glue has dried, fill the jars with candle sand. It's very simple: fill the jar to the desired height with the granules and cut the wick to the right length. Then carefully place the wick in the granules and light it - and your Christmas tree-glass for tea lights will glow in warm candlelight.

Step 6: Present the jars in style

Take two tree slices and glue them on top of each other in a staggered pattern. Once the glue has dried, you can place your tealight jars on top. For an extra touch of winter sparkle, sprinkle some diamond snow around the glasses. This presentation gives your decoration an elegant, natural touch.
