Instructions in 9 steps With a paper inside a glass, a subtle string of lights and a few fir cones, an outstanding decorative lighting is created.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Wax melting accessories, hot-melt adhesive, 2 button batteries, masking tape, cord as desired (250 cm)

And this is how it works:

Step 1

First, the coaster needs to be cast using the Raysin and the round casting mould.

Step 2

Before covering the glass evenly to within 2 cm of its top edge with masking tape, clean it with water and washing-up liquid.

Step 3

Take some frost-effect paint with the sponge paint dabber and apply it in small dabs to the free area next to the masking tape. Then remove the masking tape and allow the paint to dry thoroughly.

Step 4

Adjust the paper silhouette to the glass and stick it neatly at about 1.5 cm from the bottom by means of the special double-sided adhesive tape.

Step 5

Around the empty space between the bottom of the glass and the paper silhouette, wind the natural cord twice and knot it off tightly. Then glue the small fir cones on, as evenly as possible, using hot-melt glue.

Step 6

You also need to wind the natural cord twice over the fir cone wreath.

Step 7

Then wind the LED string lights between the cones to fix them in place and to light up the wreath in an exceptional way.

Step 8

Melt the wax pellets according to the instructions given, pour them in liquid form into the candle mould, cast with the wick inserted, allow to cool down, then demould it.
