Salt dough Christmas candle holders

28/11/2016 by Cathy James 9 Comments

An easy salt dough recipe you can use to make this sparkly salt dough candle holder craft.


sparkly salt dough candle holders - great christmas crafts for kids to give as a gift

   

Sparkly salt dough candle holders

Do you remember the salt dough candle holders we made for Diwali? They look just a good decked out in Christmas colours.

The salt dough recipe is the same but this time they’re painted with red acrylic paint with lashings of red glitter for added sparkle.

A row of these on the mantle piece or in the centre of the Christmas dinner table look so festive.

    These are so cute! I have a 25 Days of Handmade Christmas series running on my blog and I think this would be a great thing to share with my readers! If you’re interested, I would just need the HTML for a guest post. I’m off to check out the tutorial now.

    LOL–before I started reading, I thought, “hey, these would be great for Diwali, too!” We’ll make these for my boys’ American grandparents AND Indian grandparents. One project. Score! 🙂
