Candle Crafts

I would like to know what kind of candles you all are making,paraffin or SOY. I make soy ones and they are easy and non toxic.

When making the candles, take a wire coat hanger and poke around the wick as it cools. Refill the wax in small amounts to fill this "sinking" area. This will make solid candles everytime.

addition to chichimai's question... does the tissue stay on or is it simply a medium for transferring the ink? will have to try it on an old candle first. wish there were more detailed instructions.

wow!!! nice.. 1 question: i tried doing it.. when i lighted the candle, and when the fire reached the design, the tissue burned.. help please... just want to know if that's the result...? ^_____^

They all seem to do that. When I make candles, I always save some of the wax. After they cool, melt your leftover wax again and repour in the center. Sometimes it takes a couple times of doing this. I also put the candle in the oven while I'm melting the leftover wax to soften it a bit so that when you repour, you don't really notice where you poured. It kinda blends together that way. Hope this helps!!
