Easy as wax.

Beware, the following may be delightfully smelly!!This weekend my friend Amby and I went to Joanne's so she could shop for some fabric to make a purse. Of course I couldn't deny a trip to Joanne's so I tagged along. And go figure their candle supplies were on sale, AND I've never made a candle myself before.

Perfect combination?

I was really surprised at the ease of making candles. All you need is a container (notice my shot glass and tin can set up), wick (they have different kinds, I chose wire this time around), and the wax (beeswax was my choice this time). Simply sturdy the wick in the center of the container (I used a skewer and paper clip to keep my wick in line).

Melt the wax..

Pour & let cool..

Then viola! Pretty candles await burning.

Over all a pretty fun little experience. We burned the shot glass candle for about 4 hours and still have about 5 more to go, but the tin can candle has disappointed me. I think I need a different wick for this type of container, being that is bigger in diameter. The candle burned about 4 hours and has about 3-4 hours to go, which is fine, but it's simply burned straight down the middle. No fun in that!
