Offer your kid to craft cute Christmas candlesticks - they will surely warm up your long winter evenings! Needed:


  • white clay (or salt dough);
  • acrylic paints;
  • sticks, brushes;

Model several stars out of clay, make holes for candles in the stars centers.

Scratch decorative patterns on the crafts with a thin stick.

When the clay dries, color them with acrylic paints.

Your bright candlesticks are ready!

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Never burn a candle on or near anything that might catch fire. Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Trim the wick to ¼ inch each time before burning. Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning, dripping or flaring. Never touch or move a burning candle. Never move a votive or container candle when the wax is liquefied. Don’t burn a candle all the way down. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 2 inches of wax remains (1/2 inch if in a container). Place burning candles at least three inches apart from one another. This is to make sure they don’t melt one another, or create their own drafts that will cause the candles to burn improperly. Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly. Let the candle cool, trim the wick, and check for unwanted drafts before re-lighting. Always keep the candle within your sight. If you are going to leave the room, be sure to first blow out all candles. Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room. Don’t burn too many candles in a small room or in a “tight” home where air exchange is limited. Never use a candle as a night light. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc.
