Perfume scented candles can create a romantic atmosphere from time to time in your house. Do you know that you don’t have to buy your favorite candles, but you can make it your own .
You can make from old burned candles or from new ones, bought in one pound pack they are much cheaper that way. The candles will be melted in a recipient full of water. They will never be placed directly on fire, because it’s too dangerous.
We have to prepare the shapes of the candles. We can make them ourself or we can use boxes or paper glasses. We turn the shape upside down, we make a small piercing that will be used to keep the top of the candle seperated from the rest of if.
The straw that will keep the candles burning can be taken from an old candle or can be made out of white cotton straw. With a stick, pen or pencil we introduce the straw so that it is placed right through the middle. More precisely, we wrap the straw around a stick that will be fixed by the edged of the shape.
In order to color the wax we use oil colors or coloring dust that is dissolved in the melting wax. If we want the candles in the horizontal lines, we pour the each line at the time in different colors, waiting each time for them to cool to prevent the colors mix.
When the candles are completely cold, we can remove them from their shapes.If we find difficulty to remove them, we can put in the refrigerator for an hour and remove the candles after that.
