Homemade gingerbread men-kandelaar : a nostalgic highlight for cozy evenings

Step 1: Casting the gingerbread men

Preparing the casting compound: Start with the gingerbread casting mold. Pour about two tablespoons of casting powder into the mixing cup. Then slowly add water and stir vigorously. The aim is to achieve a lump-free, smooth mixture. Make sure that no lumps remain in the mixture.

Pouring out the mold: Carefully pour the prepared icing mixture into the gingerbread man mold. Tap the mold gently but firmly on the table a few times. This causes any air bubbles to rise and makes the figure more stable.

Drying and demolding: Leave the casting compound to harden for around 30 minutes. You can then carefully remove the gingerbread man from the mold. Use sandpaper, to gently sand down the rough edges. Leave the casting to dry completely for approx. 8 hours. Repeat this process until you have made a total of seven gingerbread men.

Step 2: Casting coaster

Preparing and drying the coaster: Use the silicone casting mold &bdquo;coaster Round". Pour about four heaped tablespoons of casting powder into the mixing cup. Mix it with water as before. Once the mixture has been poured, leave it to dry for about two hours.

Step 3: Spray the rose pot

Applying the chalk spray paint: Now it's the rose pot's turn. Make sure that the spraying area is well covered and work outdoors if possible. Clean the surface so that it is dry and free of grease. Shake the spray can for two to three minutes and hold it vertically while keeping it 15 to 25 cm from away from the pot. Spray the pot evenly and allow it to dry thoroughly.

Step 4: Assembling the candle holder

Attach the components: Use VBS handicraft glueto glue the individual parts of your candle holder together. Make sure you allow enough time for the glue to dry.

Claiming the candlelight effect: Fill the glass for tea lights "Bowl" with special candle sand. Then insert a wick and place it in the center of the already dried coaster.
