How easy it is to make a fabulous miniature with your own hands: a candlestick from a glass

As a child, everyone at least once imagined a tiny fairy-tale world, and looking at glass balls with snow, it seemed to us that there is also a magical life there. Now we can make a miniature world out of glass goblets and decorative materials.

To create crafts, use tiny figures of a suitable subject. These can be toys from a kinder surprise or products made of salt dough or polymer clay with your own hands.

A candlestick made of waste material: we use cans

People have already gotten used to using tin and aluminum cans to make molds, which are so necessary when working with cold porcelain, salt dough or polymer clay. But for the New Year's decor, we also need cans.

You need to learn to feel any material. You can start working with cones to try your hand: the natural material is such that it definitely cannot turn out ugly!

A simple option: we wrap the candle with cardboard, and glue cones to it with hot glue, sprinkle everything with glitter and decorate with rowan or beads

Beautiful cones-candlesticks made of natural cones and ... newspapers

First, we will prepare a shape for the candle from newspaper, cream and PVA glue. Lubricate the candle with cream (sparsely), and lay down pieces of newspaper in layers, sticking them on PVA. Let each layer dry. We will try to make the bottom thicker at the base of the future cone. As soon as the papier-mâché dries, remove the candle and glue the scales from real cones to the newspaper base with hot glue, starting from the bottom. Do not worry, they are not difficult to separate from the bump with regular scissors. At the end of the work, we will smear the tips of the reeds of the cones with PVA glue and sprinkle them with sparkles.

Can I use salted dough?

Chic candlesticks are also made from salted dough: they take the shape of a house or are made on a plane.

For a flat model, roll out the dough, place a candle in the center and decorate the space around it. Then the product dries up and needs to be painted

With the manufacture of a house, the situation is somewhat more complicated, and the result of time-consuming work is more effective

First, the dough is rolled out to a thickness of 0.8-1 cm, then the shape of each wall is cut out on it according to the scheme or template. On each wall and roof, bricks, doors are formed manually with the help of improvised means, windows are cut through. In the roof, they must leave a place for smoke to escape or make a chimney separately, and then attach it to the roof. As soon as the components are dry, they are collected together and glued with Titan glue or paste-like glue. You can first coat the joints with dough, thereby not disturbing the "laying" of the brick. The painting stage remains.
