Make this Clay and Candles craft.

How to make clay and candles:

Step 1: Form a three-inch ball of clay into a special shape you admire -- it could be a circle, a triangle, a heart, or anything else that catches your fancy.

Step 2: Press the base of the candle into the center of the clay shape. Paint the shape if you'd like.

Step 3: Press in glitter and sequins on the surface of the shape, and let the clay dry. Before you know it, you'll have a lovely, handmade candleholder to brighten up your day (and night). (Remember, never light a candle without adult supervision.)
