Candle Making Crafts for Beginners
Candles are a delightful addition to any home. Of course the glow of candle light is charming, 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 a project that will let you create decorative candles from ordinary materials.
There are several good things about this project. One good point is that 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.
Another good point is that it is inexpensive. You’re going to use votive candles in canning jars, so there’s no big investment and materials. Canning jars are inexpensive even if you buy them new. Better yet, you probably have some jars at home that you can use for free.
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. You can also decorate the outside of the jar. For example, you could attach surface decorations, paint it or tie a ribbon around it.
Any number of materials can be used to fill the bottom of the canning jar. Many people use potpourri. In addition to being attractive, it adds a pleasant aroma as well.
Since you may be using somewhat flammable material as decoration, it is essential that the votive is inside its own glass holder. Do not use a votive candle or a tea candle without a glass holder.
It is a good idea to not let the decorative material come up above the bottom of the votive holder and to extinguish the candle before it burns completely to the bottom. And as always, never leave the room with a candle burning.
The candle for this project is one that you buy. You’ll undoubtedly 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.
