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