I have a bit of an obsession when it comes to Diwali decorations, and that leads to some fun and awesome projects…;-) I am going to share one such last minute project for Diwali, that is quick, easy and costs less than $5.
These flower shaped clay candle holders are my new favorite ❤
Gather your material and get ready to make these cuties 🙂
Air dry clay
Flower cookie cutter
Rolling pin
A small glass bowl ( base should fit a tea light candle)
Step 1: Knead the clay and roll out to a smooth 1/4 inch thick sheet
step 2: With the cookie cutter make some flowers.
Step 3: Gently roll the flowers with rolling pin.Then, turn the bowl upside down and place them on to the bowl and press the edges .
Step 4: Let it dry overnight. They pop out easily and place them the right side up for complete drying.
Step 5 : Once dry paint the flower holders with the color of your choice and you have beautiful candle holders ready for this Diwali!
They can also be used to create some floor patterns/rangoli with faux flowers and LED candles like here 🙂
Cheers!

Hi, I am very delighted that you stopped by! Welcome to Creative ME!!! I 'm a wife to an amazing hubby and recently mother to an adorable little munchkin :-), an Asian(Indian) native, nomad for a while and now currently @Portland, Oregan. Recently relocated from The Grand Canyon State and still adjusting to the gloomy weather here...
When we first we moved to US(2012) ,our first 2 months of accommodation was in a hotel and that's when everything started.
You must be wondering HOW?
I was introduced to HGTV and started reading craft blogs.
Ohh yes, PINTERST toooo and that is my fav!
Well, inspired from these places, I started to DIY on budget and decorate our home. Whenever I posted pics of my projects on Facebook, everyone loved and gave many positive comments. Some of them also said I should not look for a job, instead start a blog or sell some of my projects ;) They thought I was doing something very cool!! That was a great motivation and I decided to tickle my creative senses to tame the stress monster ;-)
And then, one day here is my blog , where I share my ideas and projects with friends, family and all other aspiring DIY-er's :)
And if you like my blog, please come back and also don't forget to tell your friends :)
Lastly, if you have a fun and functional craft or project or even a simple recipe I want to hear….please let me know and I can feature, down the line we will make Creative ME to WE..;)

Nima, It’s such a great idea. I am curious how many candle holders did you make, what quantity of clay did you buy. I am trying to do this for a big event.

Hmm it’s been a while – I remember making around 20 holders – and used about the half quantity of the clay block
