Ice Candles These candles are easy to make and turn out very nice. The ice will make a variety of crags, crevices and holes in the wax. Supplies
Melt wax in a double boiler, making
sure that the pan on top is dry. (water into wax will explode). Braid
three long strands of cotton string (the string MUST be cotton to burn
correctly). Dip string into wax a few times. Put into freezer briefly
to harden wax. Keep string straight. Stand string up in center of juice
can and pour a small amount of wax in the bottom of can. Put can in
freezer. Careful not to burn your hands. After 10 minutes remove can,
wax should be hard. Fill can with ice cubes, making sure that wick stays
in the center. Fill can with liquid wax to about 1/2 inch from top.
Wait for cubes to melt and wax to harden. Pour off water. Remove cardboard
from candle. And there it is a very nice creation!
