Five more clay candle holders

Hello everybody 😃 !!

Here are some more candle holders I made using modeling clay. 

Design 1:

For this holder, I used a small glass holder, modeling clay and some tools to make dots and carve.

I started by rolling clay into a thick sheet and wrapped it around the glass holder. And I cut a circle into the clay sheet for covering the bottom of the holder. Then I smoothed out the edges.

Now I started making designs into the holder.

Once finished, I let it dry. Now it can be even painted.

Design 2:

The second variety includes heart design carved out of it. Similar to the above holder, I rolled a thick sheet of clay. I cut a circle out of it for the base. Then I cut wide band of clay out of the sheet similar to a wide ribbon. On the band now, I cut out shapes of heart. I have not used any stamps/punches for making hearts, I just used free hand style and cut them using a small knife. Then I attached the band onto the circular base using some drops of water. For the band to stay intact, the band has to be pretty thick. Otherwise thin bands will fall off and we have to constantly hold it in place, or use something for making it stand.

Once done, let it dry and done 😊

Design 3:

This is the similar holder as above. I have used toothpicks for making holes.

Design 4:

Only difference in this design is I have made semi circular shapes on the top. And added thin string at the neck.

Design 5:

Here I have tried something different. As usual, I made circular base. I made some balls and thick strings out of clay. I had some wire which I cut in small equal parts. I stuck these wires around the circular base at equal intervals. Next, I pressed one of the strings onto the wires such that it pierces out of the string. Now I pierced the balls onto the wires and so on.
