Many people like to eat pistachios. Not only do they taste great, they are also easy to peel. You can use leftover pistachio shells to make beautiful flowers, and if you leave a small opening in the middle, they can also be used as candle holders!~
For the candlestick, you need to prepare:
Pistachio shells, CDs, hot melt glue guns, candles
For small flowers, you need to prepare:
Pistachio shells, round cardboard, hot melt glue gun, acrylic paint, and brushes.
Place the candle in the middle of the disc to find out how much space is needed for the first circle of pistachio shells.
Apply some hot glue to the disc on the outside of the candle.
Start gluing the pistachio shells side by side, upright.
When you have made the first circle around the candle, start a new circle outside it, but with the shell tilted forward a little.
Keep making circles, placing the shell a little more slant each time, like a flower blooming.
When the entire disc is covered with pistachio shells, the lotus candle holder is completed. Since hot melt glue dries very quickly, there is no drying time required.
The effect of lighting candles at night.
If you are making flowers, glue the pistachio shells to the round cardboard in the same way and then paint them.
Color the front side first and let dry for 20 minutes, then flip and paint the sides and back of the pistachio shell.
