Last week when I had the clay out making Clay Letter Art, I decided to make conversation hearts and hearts with my family's initials on them. Once they were made, I thought they would look cute in a centerpiece on my kitchen table.
How to Make Clay Hearts for a Candle Centerpiece
I used the same supplies for the hearts that I used for the clay letters.
Supplies Needed
To make the Hearts: I rolled out the clay on wax paper with the wooden dowel. Once the clay was sufficiently and evenly rolled out, I cut it out with the various sizes of heart cutters.
I then stamped the clay hearts with letter stamps. On the smaller hearts, I did the first initials of each member of my family. On the larger hearts I did LOVE, SWEET, KISS, CUTE. I let the hearts sit on the wax paper to dry over night. Once they were dry, I decided to leave the hearts white, but you could paint them just about any color.
How to Put Together Candle Centerpiece with Clay Hearts
I found a wooden dough bowl in my stash that I distressed it heavily with sandpaper.
I grabbed some candles from my stash. The tall candle was slightly discolored so I covered it with some red and white ticking fabric. Once I placed the candles into the dough bowl, I filled it with dried black beans as filler.
I nestled the clay hearts into the black beans along with the candles. I think they look so cute and personalize the centerpiece. When my teen son saw the centerpiece sitting on the table, he was happy to see the K for his name.
On my kitchen table, I placed a vintage shutter painted red and distressed. When you place things like this on your table, don't forget to use felt pads to protect the table. On top of shutter, I placed the dough bowl with the candles.
The Clay Hearts Candle Centerpiece makes the perfect addition to my Valentine's Day Décor.
