Step 2:
Draw the base circle of the candle and its height. Cut these pieces out of the sheet of paper.
Step 3:
Stick with masking tape the pieces cut in the previous step (as shown in the images)
Step 4:
Cover the candle with plastic wrap
Step 5:
Cut the polymer clay into small parts and create groups as shown in the images. Then mix each group created.
Step 6:
What I did in this step was to cut a small portion of each ball of polymer clay and combine it with another small portion of the one next to it, in order to create more shades of color.
Step 7:
Create cylinders of polymer clay with each color and flatten them with the roller
Step 8:
Join all the parts and flatten them with the roller
Step 9:
Combine some yellow with white, knead it into a cylinder shape, flatten it with the roller and join it to the bottom as shown in the images
Step 10:
Then cut it into two parts and add a bit of yellow to one of them.
Step 11:
Join both parts (leaving the yellow in the center) and flatten them with the roller
Step 12:
Now cover the top with red
Step 13:
Cut the piece into three equal parts and join them
Step 14:
Cover them with more red and again cut it into 3 equal parts
Step 15:
Join the parts and start kneading a little, giving a triangular shape
Step 16:
Cover with red polymer clay and cut pieces approx 3 or 4 mm wide
Step 17:
Those pieces that did not turn out very well when cut, I mixed them and with them I created the lower part of the candle holder.
Step 18:
Then what I did was flatten each petal a bit with the roller, stick it to the polymer clay base made in the previous step and finish shaping it with my fingers.
Step 19:
When the candle holder was the shape I wanted, I cut the plastic wrap and took out the candle. Then I carefully removed the plastic.
Step 20:
I put it in the oven for 30 minutes at the temperature suggested by the polymer clay supplier.
Step 21:
When it cooled down I put the candle inside it and enjoyed seeing it finished :)
