Candles - because people are making their own

Candles are very cheap: you can get hundreds of small candles in a bag for the price of a happy meal, and larger are much more expensive. When it is so easy to buy only the candles in a store, why on earth do candles yourself?

Well, this is like asking why you want to do a painting yourself when you could buy a print and put it in a frame. Candle making is an art, with results often beautiful, not to mention the time to have fun while you are making candles.

Candle making today carefully belongs in the category of Arts and crafts, which means that you can get all the teams and wax you need from your local craft store.

To make a sail, you need to do is get some wax and melt in a pan (can also use wax candles produced in series, if you can not find any flat wax). Once the wax melts, it is possible to add colors if the wax is not already colored. Then just put the fuse (the fire), pour into a mold wax and leave to set. Once again, if it cannot obtain a real cast sailing can improvise with objects of household disposable, as half a carton of milk or any other type of bottle.

Of course, this method is only the beginning. Once you have downloaded, can start mixing different colored waxes using more complex moulds and perhaps adding things such as Frost and other decorations. You can add small objects, such as hot stone of brilliant wax, or even cover wax large objects to be turned into large candles. If you need more inspiration, chances are that the shop of crafts (or library) will have books in candle making, with more 'recipes' that can follow directly or embed in your own designs.
