Things You'll Need:
-
Step 1
Wash and dry the inside of a wax-covered paper milk carton. This will be your mold.
-
Step 2
Use or make a taper candle for the center to avoid having holes around the wick.
-
Step 3
Break wax into chunks and estimate how much you'll need to fill half of the carton. Too much is always better than not enough.
-
Step 4
Make a double boiler by putting about an inch of water in a saucepan. Set a clean coffee can upright in the water.
-
Step 5
Set the heat to low and melt the wax in the coffee can.
-
Step 6
Add dye chips if you want colors.
-
Step 7
Fill the carton with ice cubes.
-
Step 8
Pour the melted wax on top of the ice.
-
Step 9
Let it cool.
-
Step 10
Pour out the water.
-
Step 11
Tear away the carton.
-
Step 12
Wait a few days before burning the candle - it needs time to dry.

on 11/16/2009 Made these many years ago. They were very easy and pretty. We put sticker stars and glitter on them at that time.
