I decided to make some of these floating flower candle holders from last summer's Adorn magazine. If you don't have it already, I highly recommend ordering the back issues. They are well worth it. You can find them at www.adornmag.com.
Anyway, I had the idea to make these and fill the pool with them for my jewelry launch party. They look simple in the instructions. However, it took me almost an hour to make just the one...not including the baking time. But I love how it came out. We'll see how many I actually finish in time for the party though. :) I do have a word of advice though in case anyone else decides to make some...
Unless you are a freak like me, be sure to remove them from the oven using pot holders. You need to create a base of foil to wrap it in while baking, and that can get hot. I realized at some point that I pull hot clay out of the oven so frequently, that I have lost the heat sensation in my right hand. I can actually pull the foil out of the oven and not feel the heat. I'm sure for anyone else (or even if I just use my other hand), this is not the best idea. :)
