SAND ART CANDLES
Source of Recipe
Aunt Saunny
Supplies:
Clear glass containers (juice glasses work well)
beads of wax in different colors
string
paraffin
skewers
stickers
Directions:
Melt some paraffin, then dip the string in it, to make the wick. Allow the string to dry. (This can be done ahead of time). Cut a piece of wick to fit the container.
Make a design by pouring different colors of wax in the container. "Mountains" are made by pouring more of a color at the edge of the glass than in the center. Then using a different color to fill. Downward streaks are created by putting a skewer in along the side of the glass, to the desired depth, then pulling towards the center of the glass as you pull out the skewer.
When the glass is full seal with a layer of paraffin. You can decorate the paraffin by adding small amounts of the beaded wax before the paraffin cools.
You can use stickers on the outside of the glass to add to you design.
