Dove & Star Angel Votive Holder — Unpainted 3D Printed Christmas Candle Holder, Paint It Yourself

A glorious Christmas angel with her arms lifted high, holding a plate of doves and stars above her head. Her long wavy hair frames a serene, joyful face, her flowing gown falls in soft folds to her feet, and great feathered wings rest folded down along her back. A little star sits at her neckline. She comes to you plain white from our studio in Alexander, North Carolina, ready for your paintbrush.

The round plate she holds is ringed with doves of peace, all flying the same way around the candle like a little flock, with eight-point stars and tiny dots scattered between them. A raised center ring keeps a flameless LED votive in place. Paint her in soft ivory and gold, in heavenly blues, or leave her pure white and just touch the stars with gold leaf paint.

Two pieces, one holder

The angel and the dove plate are printed separately. Two small pegs on her hands fit into sockets under the plate, so you can paint each piece on its own and then set the plate in place. A dab of glue makes it permanent if you like. A wide round base keeps her steady on a table or mantel.

The details

• About 6 in tall with the plate in place
• Dove plate about 3.8 in across; base about 3.3 in across
• Center ring fits a standard 1.5 in LED votive (up to about 1.6 in wide)
• 3D printed in matte white PLA, unpainted
• Takes acrylic craft paint well; finish with a matte spray sealer

Straight talk

This is the unpainted blank: no paint, no brushes and no LED votive in the box. For flameless LED candles only, never a real flame, because PLA softens with heat. Each one is printed to order, so allow a little extra time before it ships. Fine print layers are part of the 3D printed look and a coat of paint softens them nicely.
