It took a few hours but using my roaster I melted the wax in tin cans that sat in the hot water.
Overall candle making has been pretty successful! They've made candles on and off for the past couple weeks.
Orange candles. They look nice and the peels have lasted a lot longer than I expected!
We tied the wicks onto pens and pencils and suspended them in canning jars.

I had forgotten to buy any containers when we were at Hobby Lobby. When we got home I had to improvise because I couldn't find any suitable containers anywhere in my house. Go figure!

Those candles looked like fun to make. I love the little orange peel ones. Have you tried pulling the peel off? We've used empty tin cans--like tuna cans--in the past and they worked well.
ReplyDeleteOh no, pulling the peels off sounds fun! I'll definitely try that. Wouldn't you know, I'd taken all of my recycling to town and didn't have one empty can in my house! Ha...but we are using some now.
ReplyDeleteThose orange ones are the cutest thing!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the orange candles! You are so brave. I'm thinking I would still be a nervous wreck with my youngest who doesn't always pick up on directions the first go 'round!
ReplyDeleteI also really love the orange candles - those are so creative and pretty!
