Floral sponge

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Ensure you work in an well ventilated area.
Fire Safety is important.

2. Tea light candle needs to have steady fire
         so that the heat on the spoons will be even.

5. Do all 12 pieces and leave it aside to cool down.

6. Do the same for the steam.

7. Once all the shapes are done, you may start to join the pieces together.
Four pieces per layer and should have 3 layers.
Starts from the bottom layers.

8. Once done, just attached the soft stem to the base of the flower.

9.  Once done, you can plant it into the flower pot and
you have a very beautiful project on your desk again.



It looks like ceramic flower from far.
This is the final product.... have fun with it....
