Description :

Tealight holders made with Fevicryl Mouldit and painted in pretty shades with Acrylic Colours. Learn how interesting clay techniques in this DIY, the simple and easy way.

STEP 1 : Prepare the dough

Take Fevicryl Mouldit – resin base & hardener, mix well to form an even soft dough.

STEP 2 : Source the base material

Take a tealight holder that can be recycled and revamped. We have taken an acrylic one. The tealight is going to be built and developed around this tealight or you can take a diya too.

STEP 3 : Clay Slab technique & moulding the dough

Take the clay and roll it into a medium thin slab using a rolling pin. Very neatly cover the tealight holder with the clay from the outside, giving it a slight pointed spout.

STEP 4 : Moulding female faces with the clay

Shape and mould the clay with your hands and clay tools, to shape the face of a female figurine. Sharpen the nose as you see in the image. To support the entire figurine as the rest of the body parts are made and assembled, pierce a barbeque stick towards the lower part of the face, like to see in the image.

STEP 5 : Start developing the tealight holder

Shape and create the upper torso of the figurine, in a sitting posture embracing the tealight holder that we made in Step 3. Make a tiny bird that you see perched on the head too.

Use clay carving tools to shape for ease, and Fevicryl Fabric Glue for sticking the parts neatly.

STEP 6

Make two similar tealight holders, just like you see in the image step above. Let them dry. 

STEP 7 : Final touches

Paint the pretty tealight holders in pastel using Fevicryl Acrylic Colours - Black 02, Dark Brown 05, Golden Yellow 09, Indian Red 10, Ultramarine Blue 23, White 27, Salmon Pink 65 and Teal Blue 68. Paint a dainty floral print for the attire of the figurines. Your tealight holders are now ready to be a part of your décor.
