ICE CRAYON CANDLES
This recipe for making ice crayon candles is great for kids or anyone trying candle making for the first time.
Cut off the top of the milk carton so that you have a "box" with one end open. Next, Melt crayons over medium heat (there are plastic bags available that you can place the wax or crayons in so that you then just place that bag into boiling water to melt). The crayons can be broken and different colors, but the washable type do NOT work well. You can use the wax for candle crafts found at the discount stores and add just a few crayons of the desired color to tint it. Place wick into the milk carton and fill carton will ice. Be sure that the wick is fairly centered and running the entire length of the carton. Now, pour melted wax/crayon mixture into the carton filling to the top. Let sit until hardened and ice has melted, then carefully cut and peel away the carton from the candle.
You will now have a beautiful candle. The ice in the carton caused the wax to quickly harden around the cubes. The result is a "Swiss cheese" looking candle. Each one looks a little different! These must be handled carefully after finished as the Swiss cheese nature of the candle make it fragile.
Helpful Hint: make sure the ice is crushed well - too large and your candle will not stay together.

I can make all sorts of candles, different colors, different shapes, different sizes, and smells. What I'm known for our my candles in a bottle. I take a variety of bottles and make candles out of them. They look real cool and there child proof as well because the flame stays in the bottle and it's not exposed. I'm taking orders so leave a comment or email me what you would like and we can go from there. My candles sale for real cheap it just depends on what you desire. Right now i'm only doing local orders, non local orders coming soon!!
