Stone candlestick

There are a huge number of stone products, but I want to teach you how to make unique candlesticks from stone. Or rather, our material will become stone over time, in 3-4 days. The process of making stone will not cause any difficulties. And the materials will not bring large financial costs. But you will get pleasure from the process and, even more so, from the result. I assure you!
Well, let's start with the selection of material. And you won't need much:
- coffee grounds, processed and dried (if you just take ground coffee, it will color our stone in an unnatural color),
- flour,
- PVA glue.

For finishing I used linen twine and artificial green branches. First, mix the dry ingredients in the following proportions: 2 parts coffee grounds, 3 parts flour



Then add PVA glue - 1.5 parts.



Mix well and get a mixture like stiff dough. If the mass turns out to be runny, you can add flour, and if, on the contrary, it’s too steep, add water.



Our mass is ready, now we form the stone. The shape can be very diverse, for example, round, like a sea pebble, or broken, like granite. It all depends on your taste, preference and imagination.



The next step is to decorate our candlestick.First, insert a candle to create a hole. I used a pill candle, but again it's up to your taste. Next, you can glue beads, shells, seed beads, insert green branches and tie them with twine. I got it like this



Now we put the semi-finished candlestick in a corner and forget about it for 3-4 days, unfortunately, it will dry for just that long, but if you wait and don’t touch it (touching may deform the hole for the candle), then you will get this result



Imagine, create and surprise yourself and others.
Good luck!
