Method to start the DIY:
Making the holy berries:
- For making the berries I am using Astral white epoxy putty. You can also use Fevicryl mouldit.
- Now mix both parts of epoxy putty properly until it turns uniform in color.
- Then make small spherical balls for berries. I made five berries.
- Now insert the flower wire into the balls of approx. ()cm long.
- Let the berries dry properly.
- Once they are dried and hardened, color them in red acrylic color. You can paint them with brush. But I have dipped them red acrylic color. Now let the color dry.
- In this stage you can also use a single coat of varnish. But it’s totally optional.
- Lastly take all the berries together and twist their wires at the end. Thus your cluster of berries is ready.
Creating the frosty effect:
- For this step first of all clean the glass jar properly and pat it dry.
- Then take Fevicol MR and pour a little water, mix properly.
- Now apply this mixture outside the whole glass jar with a brush (wash the brush immediately after use).
- Then sprinkle salt all the glass jar in a thin layer.
- After that sprinkle some silver glitter all over it.
- Let the jar dry out properly.
- And here is frosty glass jar is ready. Isn’t it so beautiful?!
Decoration:
- Take morpankhi leaf and the berry cluster together and tie them with a flower wire.
- Now tie this to the frosty glass jar with a flower wire or a jute twine.
- To cover the neck of the jar wrap it with a golden lace. You can also use silver or white lace or jute twine.
Lastly put a LED candle inside the jar and you frosty candle holder is ready to glow.
Remember not to use a wax candle inside the jar. Always use LED candle for safety.
