HOW do YOU make a beautiful candle

FLOATING LILY candle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You will need:
A baking tray Circular bowl or plate Scalpel or craft knife
Cutting board Metal ruler. Small bowl for moldings the candle
lime green wax heated to 79°C (175°F)
pink wax heated to 79°C (175°F)
orange wax heated to 82°C(180°F)
primed wick stick, to support the wick

Gently pull away the wax from around
the circle. Carefully lift the remaining
circle on to a cutting board.

Using the craft knife, divide the circle
into 8 portions.

Do not cut into the middle of the circle
leave an uncut circle with a diameter of
approximately 2 cm (3/4 in) in the center.

Using the craft knife, neatly shape
the top of each of the eight segments
into a scallop shape.

Lift up the wax from the cutting board
and place into a small bowl.
Place each segment so that it slightly
overlaps the neighboring segment.

Using a spoon, smear some green wax
around the inside of the wax bowl to
hold the segments in place, making
sure that any holes are sealed

Pour in the pink wax to within
2 mm (1/8 in) of the top

Wait until the wax is almost set
and press in the primed wick.

Resting the wick on a stick for support,
carefully top up the lily with orange wax.

Here you go!

PURE BEESWAX DIPPED CANDLE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You will need:
50cm 20) in) length of 4 cm (1.5 in) primed wick
A dipping can filled with pure beeswax Wax thermometer
Saucepan
Soft cloth or duster

Dip both ends of the wick into the beeswax,
and then remove.

Repeat the dipping three times.

TIP:
If possible, it may help to make these candles in a dipping
can placed in a saucepan on the stove. Because so many
dips are involved, the wax may form a skin several times
and have to be re-heated before the candles are finished.

Continue dipping the ends of the wick
until the coating of wax becomes thicker.
This hand-dipping means
you will end up with candles
that are much thicker than
those produced commercially.

After approximately 30 dips you will have an ordinary
sized pair of candles, similar to the
standard ones available in shops.

Continue dipping, reheating the wax as necessary.
Stop when the candles have reached
a diameter of 4 cm (11/2 in) at
the base.

Dip the candles immediately into cold water to
produce a final shine. When dry, you can also
buff them with a soft cloth.
