Material list
A decorative candle plate is a must-have table decoration during the Christmas season. Discover here different ways to design and arrange DIY candles.
Concrete design: Advent plate in Gold
A flat, round Advent plate can be poured well with creative concrete.

You will need 20 tablespoons of "Concrete for Creatives". This quantity is mixed with water to a creamy mass and filled into the "Pouring mould circle Ø 25 cm". After 24 hours drying time, the plate can be carefully removed from the mould.

Paint the outer edge of the concrete plate with golden paint.
DIY Christmas candles
For the personal X-Mas candles in gold you can use Inka Silk with a painting sponge on your standard candle. This colour is suitable for candle design.

Of course you can also use ready made candles for your table decoration. Coloured pillar candles can be combined with white candles. Special motifs such as a snowflake are punched out of decorative wax plates with a Motif Punch and then positioned on the candles. It is sufficient to heat these wax motifs by hand so that they stick to the candles.

Another possibility of design is to write or paint the candles with the Candle Pen.
Table arrangement
Arrange the candles on a plate together with Christmas Balls, bells and fir branches or wintergreen to make a pretty Advent arrangement.
DIY candle variety
As soon as you choose Decorating wax, Craft Punch and candles in a different colour, the visual effect changes. Thus an infinite variety of different candles is possible.
