How to do it
1 Knead the clay well. and then divide into two pieces. One should be slightly larger than the other if you want different sized candlesticks.
2 Model the candlestick into the desired shape.
3 Press the candle cuff down into the top of the candlestick. Now model the clay around the cuff so that it is not visible on the outside of the candlestick.
4 Smooth the candlestick with water to prevent cracks when drying. Allow the candlestick to dry at room temperature for around 48 hours.
5 It can be difficult to avoid cracks during the drying process, but these cracks can be easily repaired. Start by moistening the clay with water where the cracks are.
6 Now take a small piece of clay, work it into the cracks and let it dry.
7 Paint one of the candlesticks completely blue.
8 Paint stripes on the other one. Once the paint is dry, your candlesticks are ready to use.
