DIY Powder Plaster Candle Votives


To make plaster candle holders you’ll need powder plaster, a plastic container for mixing, a silicone square mold, tealights, acrylic paint, matte medium. Scoop powdered plaster into a small container and mix with water according to directions. Stir water and plaster mixture until you achieve desired consistency, which should be similar to pancake batter. Pour mixture into square mold or gently scoop the mixture in with a spoon. Wait 2-3 minutes for it to start to set up. While it’s setting up, remove the candles from the metal shell they sit in. Then add coins or other small heavy objects to weigh it down, so it say in place. After that everything is simple and no need a instructions.Enjoy this project!
