Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 First you will need to buy a sheet of wax from a craft or hobby store. Cut it into several chunks and fill a coffee can roughly half full with it. Place the can in a pot that has water in it. The water level should not be higher than the can because sometimes water will spill or boil over. Heat the pot of water and when the wax has turned into a fairly clear liquid, use a pair of tongs to pour it into a frame. Some people make their own frames out of sheet metal. Keep the frame upside down and suspend a wick with an extended rod, letting the wick hang down with a little extra at the end to light. It's okay to use empty tuna fish cans to create votives and feel free to experiment with other designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 some of you may wonder why I posted this. The reason I did is while the Herbs are burning (inside the candle) you have breathe their healing vapor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you burn them I feel you get a more better healing then by using oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I've always wanted to get into candle making. This may seem off topic but can you either put up the Starseed test or email it to me?mysticpleiadian <mysticpleiadian@...> wrote: First you will need to buy a sheet of wax from a craft or hobby store.Cut it into several chunks and fill a coffee can roughly half full with it.Place the can in a pot that has water in it.
