Springtime Mandala Tea Light Candle Holder | Pastel Color Shift by Folk Art

Check out this full tutorial on how to make this Springtime Mandala Tea Light Holder. I used Folk Art's Pastel Color Shift paints along with some other spring acrylic paints. These colors in the pastel family are always a little tough for me to work with. This Liquitex Flow Aid Additive really made the difference in helping me get this project complete. I've had it listed on my site forever and am finally beginning to love it now that I'm mixing it correctly. I hope you enjoyed the video. I'll leave some links below on things in this video. If I miss something check my website. If you have any tips or tricks on using these tealight holders leave a comment. One of our Channel members just got the mold and I'm hoping all of this will help her success.

Good Morning... ☕️ Feeling Springy yet?

[@emmakrueger7704]

Well you are definitely a harbinger of Spring! I can’t believe how your creative mind ‘sees’ complex color patterns. This really spoke to me!

[@JaDeLRocks]

Wow! That’s a big compliment Emma, Thank you ♥️

[@frangoodrich8243]

Spring has sprung here in Jadel country!!! Love it! ❤

[@JaDeLRocks]

Lol!!!! Love it! Thank you ♥️

[@leigh335]

Love the tea light mold. Love the Springtime theme. You can also use it for a hummingbird feeder. They have these small containers that are a perfect fit. I cant wait til my hummingbirds come out and see the new ones I have made for them.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Oh really? I’d love to see those! Tag me on Facebook when you get them out. You’re so clever 🤗

[@gillesbray5394]

Are you kidding me? Make a small mold to find the center of the holder? Brilliant 👏. Now that's thinking outside the "mould!" Leave it to Jadel! I love this combination of colors. Thanks again for more inspiration.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Awww thanks Sylvie… I was hoping y’all wouldn’t think I was nuts for that, lol. It really does help if you want to use a stencil or guidelines. Thank you so much 🤗

[@dcinkc58]

So pretty! Spring is my favorite season!! I just saw that some of my daffodils are coming up in the garden. I'm so ready for flowers and warmer weather!

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thanks Diane. I love Spring! The daffodils are popping off in the backyard down here too. It’s like I’m really ready for warmer but dog gone it that’s also mowing season 🤣 I’ve got so much work out there that needs to be done. One thing at a time eh? Lol for now I’m just looking for flip flop weather 😂

[@janmartens1613]

I'm not very girlie- but something about pastels...just love it. I desperately wanna put a Paas colored egg in the center! Great job!

[@JaDeLRocks]

Lol!!!! Yes!! It can be an egg holder 💪🏻 lol, we just keep repurposing these holders! I love it!!

[@JaDeLRocks]

Awww I’m so glad you like it… did ya see the magnets? I stuck them right in the wet ultracal… it’s like a super strong magnet. Great for notes on my metal back door 😂

[@suzannenorman9782]

Absolutely gorgeous! I love painting these candle holders, and there aren’t very many tutorials out there for them. I thank you for putting some spring in my step today with your beautiful design, and colours. Love that you were mixing shift paints with matte paints ❤

[@JaDeLRocks]

Alright!! Thank you ♥️ I appreciate that so much. This really was fun! I think I still have some more I can paint wink 😉

[@donnajosephsonblatz5058]

Ooowee! I do love pastels. Thanks.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Awesome, Thank you ♥️ I’m so glad you like it Donna! These new pastel shift paints are really pretty.

[@MHarenArt]

The way you kept track of that color pattern was amazing. I'm going to have to try this one with just pastel colors I have since I don't have the Flash colors. It's gorgeous! I may make it into a clock!!

[@JaDeLRocks]

Oooohhh that hat would be so pretty. I’d love to see it if you do 🤗 Thank you ♥️

[@dianaclang2190]

[@DotMandala]

J’adore ! Les couleurs pastel et métalliques sont très belles ! Ça sent vraiment le printemps 😊 Merci Jadel 👌🙏🥰

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you ♥️ it was refreshing to make this one ♥️🌸

[@klairbaranek]

I love all the pastel colors 😊

[@JaDeLRocks]

Me too.. this was my first time using yellow and blue. Yellow pastel is sooooo much prettier than regular yellow color shift. I’m so pleased with that color.

[@annekristineskov9409]

Beautiful as always 😍😍 I always use a tea light to find the middle .. just put the wick through the middle of the stencil 😍

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you ♥️ Great tip! That could totally work 💪🏻

[@SHANGRILAAA333]

Swooooosh !!! You have mastered & perfected the swoosh !!! My Swoosh game is not up to par but you have inspired me with this tutorial.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Cool beans!!! I’m not sure it’s perfected but I at least feel like I’m getting better! Go get em girl!

[@dawnbristow3394]

I love it, JaDeL! It's so perfect for spring and I'm definitely ready for that! Btw I like the pastel pink the best but I must say that the yellow and the lavender are pretty, too.😂

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you ♥️ I love that pink. The blue didn’t feel very pastel. Ironic that there’s a green pastel that looks very pastel blue 😂 Here’s to Spring countdown girl.. 🌸🌼🌻

[@judygrewell4040]

Beautiful - fascinating as usual - good job

So very pretty! ❤

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you! 😊 Hope you’re doing well. I saw a heart you painted not too long ago that was soooooo gorgeous for valentines. I tried to comment but it wouldn’t let me. Tried rebooting then got sidetracked. But it was so beautiful girl… you’ve got it going on 💪🏻♥️

[@kathyfernaays8309]

@@JaDeLRocks Aww, thanks so much JaDel. I'm doing okay. It's taken me a while to get back into painting. Before the holidays, I didn't want to stop, and now I find I'm having a hard time getting my ambition back. In that post I had two different hearts. One was painted in Tuscan red with the design in all white. I think I got the inspiration from Hungarian decorated cookies.The other was a mandala done in shades of pink with some white that I did following a Sue Sloan tutorial. I painted both of those quite a while ago. I think I'm having a hard time because I have to paint at my kitchen table and we have no dining room, so I'm constantly having to pick everything up when people come over. It's very tiring and frustrating. It's so much more convenient to keep all my supplies right on the table, but I really want to keep my table cleaned off, LOL. I can't win either way. I've been loving all your videos, and hope to get back into the swing of things very soon. 💕

[@JaDeLRocks]

@@kathyfernaays8309 I totally get that. I started at my kitchen table.. I have a typical round wooden table in there that use to be my grandmas. I used exactly half the table for art and half for eating space 😂 I did this for a really long time. My friend donated me a folding portable table. I set it up in my room with one borrowed kitchen chair. Lol! Last month I invested in me and bought a proper desk. Still in my room but I’m content. I feel uptown with a real desk 😂 But I’m like you… if it’s not set up and ready to go I’ll never do it. You know? My mom has a computer desk that completely closes up. The keyboard shelf rolls out and there’s 2 cabinet doors. You might have a corner you could do something like that? Whatever you do… get back at it! I love watching you go. 😉

[@bethapplegate7253]

Thank you, 💕😊

[@JaDeLRocks]

No problem… thanks for the idea 🤗

[@darlenemikkola5239]

OMG, if that doesn’t give you spring fever, I don’t know what will🌸🌼. I don’t have a favorite color shift paint, because some how I have managed to forget I even have some of these paints, lol. I think that means I have too much paint 😂😂. I’ve been in the spring mode, too, though, and have been painting terra cotta pots. They are usually a great seller, especially around Mothers Day💗💜💛💙💚

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thanks so much. I’ve never painted a pot… I should do that. Maybe my mom would like that for her patio or something? I’m just so ready for this cold to move out of here. The other day it got to the 60s then back to freezing.. like, come on! Lol, I’m just not a winter gal. I’m the kind that stays cold and I stay tense. Drives me crazy. I love the sun. Maybe I’m a lizard? 😂😂😂

[@darlenemikkola5239]

@@JaDeLRocks yes, definitely try the pots….they are a nice change of pace. I flip the pot over and paint a design on the bottom of the pot, too, get a small solar light from Walmart, which fits in the hole perfectly and 💗, a beautiful outdoor decoration !!

One of my favorite things to paint also- love doing the pots

[@JaDeLRocks]

I might try it this year.. maybe be for some herbs. 🪴

[@nancycharlton1803]

I love the spring colors and pattern. One important piece of information came out of this for me. I have the exact same Liquitex that you have and the directions never mention that you are supposed to dilute the Liquitex with water 20:1. Now I know why in the past it didn't really do me much good. Odd that that important step wasn't on the label. Sooo glad I watched this video!🥰

[@JaDeLRocks]

Oh wow! I’m so glad I made note of that. I see many people using it full strength and I never understood. Guess that explains it. Let me know if it makes a difference. 🌸♥️
