Allow each side to dry completely before applying the next coat of paste. Once finished, you should have beautiful candle holders that show off your unique design preferences.

Finishing Touches To Make the Candle Holders Durable and Long-lasting
When making candle holders using Modge Podge, it is important to give them a few finishing touches in order to make them durable and long-lasting. First, apply two thin layers of Modge Podge to the entire surface of each candle holder. Allow each layer of Modge Podge to dry completely before adding the next layer. After you have applied two thin coats, add one generous coat of Modge Podge over the entire surface that will be exposed when the candle holder is fully assembled. Once this layer has dried completely, seal it with a coat or two of clear sealant for extra protection and durability. Be sure to allow plenty of time for the Modge Podge and sealant layers to dry completely before use for maximum benefits.
