Candle Making Crafts – A Great Project to Get You Started
Candles improve the look of a home in many ways. Candle light itself adds warmth, but in addition the candles themselves are a decorative item even when they’re not lit. I’ve found some ideas for ways to decorate candles at Candle Making Crafts. Here’s an idea that will let you turn plain votive candles into decorative items.
There are several good things about this project. For one, you can make any number of variations. By changing the type of decorations you use you can create candles appropriate for any season or occasion.
For another, is very economical. The raw material is canning jars and votive candles. Canning jars are very affordable even if you buy them new. But you probably won’t have to buy them.
Commercially sold jam often comes in very attractive jars that you can use for this project. Garage sales are another source of inexpensive canning jars.
The other part of the project is a votive candle and a plain glass holder for it that you can purchase inexpensively at a discount store.
To assemble the finished candle, partially fill the canning jar with decorative material, then place the votive candle holder on top of it. The outside of the canning jar can be a decorated as well. For example, you could attach surface decorations, paint it or tie a ribbon around it.
You can use a variety of materials in the jar. Some ideas include sand, marbles, hard candy, potpourri, river stones, polished coins…. In addition to being attractive, it adds a pleasant aroma as well.
Since you may be using somewhat flammable material as decoration, you need to use a glass votive holder with the candle. Do not use a votive candle or a tea candle without a glass holder.
Also keep the decorative material underneath the candle holder and don’t let the candle burn all the way to the bottom. And as always, never leave the room with a candle burning.
The candle for this project is one that you buy. I suspect you’ll probably want to make your own candles at some point. A good place to get basic instructions is: How to Make Your Own Candles. Not only will you find great instructions right on that page but you can sign up for a free candle making mini course that’s very informative and helpful.
And if your wondering what equipment might be involved in the hobby of candle making, you’ll find answers at Candle Making Equipment.
I’m sure you’ll find candle making to be a fun and rewarding hobby. I encourage you to give it a try.
