General helpful tips
- Place modelling clay in a plastic bag immediately after unpacking to prevent it from drying out.
- When rolling out and cutting out the clay, use a non-stick, stable plastic mat – this makes it easy to remove the star-shaped candle holders.
- Keep some spare modelling clay on hand for touch-ups: dampen the area, apply the clay and smooth it out.
- Smooth surfaces and edges with a wet finger.
- Leave to dry – do not speed up the process (no oven, no direct sunlight), otherwise cracks will form. - The larger the object, the greater the risk of cracking.
Barbara shows you how to cut out Christmas-themed star-shaped candle holders from self-hardening clay.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Roll out the modelling clay to a thickness of approx. 10 mm on a non-stick plastic surface. Two 10-mm rolling pins will help you maintain the correct thickness.
Step 2
Cut out the stars and leave the cutters in the modelling clay until they are dry. This ensures the stars retain their shape.
Step 3
Lightly dampen the base of a Christmas tree candle and use it to press a hole in the centre of each star.
Step 4
Leave the stars to dry in the cookie cutter for approx. 30–36 hours.
Important: Do not place in direct sunlight or on a radiator – otherwise the modelling clay may crack.
Step 5
Carefully press the dried stars out of the mold from the bottom upwards. Gently pull the cutter apart as you do so to help the star come away more easily.
Step 6
If necessary, repair small cracks with fresh modelling clay. Then smooth the edges and surfaces with sandpaper or a nail file.
