Make your own candles.

Stumble on this book - Title creating candles by Luisa Sacchi.


Am fascinated by the following candles design:

1. *Wineglass Candle* , with a rose within using *transparent gel wax* , wax wicks Can vary with any rose colours.

Variant: mug + leaf, jar filled with plastic fruits

2. *Stone Candle*, candle laid below, wire mesh, stone deco laid on top, some scent

3. Using wax sheet to cut out design and attach to candle, sticking fragment to candle e.g. seashell, ropes

4. Powder wax for Scented Sand Cocktail candle

5. Bead around a vase with a candle stuck in between

6. Bamboo, Straws place around the box, pour white wax into box

7. Floating Candle, ensure wick don't get wet, other items likes flower can float along in the bowl

8. Using orange, red pepper etc to be the candle container

9. Use of liquid wax for design, gel wax, paraffin wax to create foam effect , (ice-cream candle, beer candle)

I should make one candle for fun, getting the wax seems tricky =)
