- Total Time Needed:
- 1 Hour
Add a little star light to the holiday meal with these clay candleholders.

-

- Scissors
- Waxed paper
- Star cookie cutter
- Pencil
- Glass baking dish
- Dripless taper candles
- Instructions
-
-
Knead the clay on a sheet of waxed paper, then roll it out to a thickness of about 1 inch using a drinking glass or marble rolling pin. Don't use a wooden one; the clay will stick. Cut out a star with a cookie cutter.
-
Using a pencil, gradually make a hole in the center; if you move too quickly, you'll distort the shape. Test the fit with a candle when you think the hole is correctly sized. Make sure it's a perfect fit, then set the star in a glass baking dish. Bake according to the manufacturer's directions (usually about 30 minutes).
-
Once the holder has cooled, put in a candle, using an unbaked piece of clay to secure it, if necessary.
-
- Tips:
- If you're worried about wax leaking (which shouldn't happen if the fit is tight), set a star-shaped piece of foil under each holder.
- Variations:
- Use the same technique to make six-pointed Stars of David for a Hanukkah feast.
