Candles the most beautiful home accessory. They are expensive and everyone cannot afford candles for their home decoration.Today I am going to tell you how you can make beautiful different candles at home. There are three kinds of wax Paraffin wax, soy wax and beeswax. Paraffin wax is easily available in the candle making store. Soy wax is natural and made from soybeans. The best thing in it is that it can be easily cleans up with water and soap. Beeswax is natural too.
Making Beeswax candle is the easiest one. What you have to do is just wrap the sheet of beeswax around the wick or thread then seal it with thumb and your candle is ready to burn. Not much time is consumed and no any melting is required.What you need is, wax in raw form, thread, color, fragrance, glitter and a mold. Just put the big pot half filled with water on a burner, over medium heat, and then place the mold in the water and put wax and heat, until it melted. When it melted, add scent, glitter in wax.
The fragrance works as air freshener and glitter gives it antique look to make more elegant. Before putting in the molder cut the thread two inches taller than the candle length. Then place a fine thread in the middle of the mold and pour wax in it. Allow it to cool for at least 12 hours. You can also refrigerate it for 12 hours. You can wrap the candle in jute or in a tulle cloth to make it more presentable. Now the candle is ready to burn.
