Holly Santa Votive Holder — Unpainted 3D Printed Christmas Candle Holder, Paint It Yourself

Jolly old Santa with both arms stretched high, lifting a plate of holly over his head. He has a full curly beard, a fur-trimmed coat with a big buckled belt, and his hat folded back with the pom-pom on his shoulder. He comes to you plain white from our studio in Alexander, North Carolina, ready for your paintbrush.

The round plate he holds is ringed with sprigs of holly, each with spiky leaves and a cluster of round berries just waiting for a dot of red. A raised center ring keeps a flameless LED votive in place. Paint him in classic red and white, in vintage creams and golds, or however your family's Christmas looks.

Two pieces, one holder

Santa and the holly plate are printed separately. Two small pegs on his 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 him steady on a table or mantel.

The details

• About 6.1 in tall with the plate in place
• Holly 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.
