Hello everybody! In today's craft we bring you an original way to use pistachio shells. Yes, you heard right, about pistachios. We are going to make a candle holder with pistachio shells.
Do you want to know how you can do it?
Materials that we will need to make our candle holder
- Pistachio shells, the more, the bigger the candle holder.
- Strong glue like hot silicone.
- For the base of the candle holder we are going to use a circle of some material that we have at home such as cardboard.
- Scissors.
- Paint spray if we want to paint the candle holder
- A candle
Hands on craft
- The first thing we will do is save all the pistachio shells that we have, you can also peel the pistachios and store them in a boat to eat them at another time. We will clean the shells by immersing them in water with a little soap. We will turn the pistachios and put them in a colander to remove the water. We will rinse them well, let them dry and they will be ready for the craft.
- We will cut a circle out of cardboard, eva rubber or the material we have chosen.
- We will put the candle in the center of the circle and mark the outline being a little generous.
- Poco a poco We will stick the pistachios making circles around the candle mark. As we get closer to the outer edge, we will turn over the pistachio shells a little so that they have more flower-like shape.
- Once the candle holder is dry, we can paint it with spray or leave it with the color of pistachios.
- We put the candle inside.
And ready! We already have our candle holder ready to be used. We can make several equal candle holders to decorate a table or to decorate a dinner that we are going to make with someone special.
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
