A guide from Magdalene Pfister of the University of Nebraska Lincoln outlines a simple home candle project. Use a double boiler, wax, wicks, molds, dye, and decorations, with newspapers to protect surfaces. Recycled containers like frozen juice cans and milk cartons shape versatile candles with sand casting for textured coatings.
Instructions for setting wicks in various mold types and methods to melt wax. Includes tying wicks across molds, using weights, or creating wick holes with hot tools. Describes melting paraffin, adding two teaspoons of dry dye per pound, settling undissolved particles, pouring to avoid air bubbles, and finishing with cooling and decoration steps.
A home crafts guide suggests making brick chimney candles, using milk-carton molds and red dye, with corn starch paste grooves for texture and wax frosting for a snowlike top. It recommends fragrances for gifts, from Tussy colognes to Midnight Miniatures, and scenting decor and gift wrappings for a festive mood.
A new fragrance spread makes holiday hosting unique as hosts add perfume drops to candle bases to release inviting scents. The idea promises a memorable table atmosphere beyond flowers.
