Layered Effect Ideas On Candle Craft

Layered Candles Effect:

Create a layered candle effect in the art candle making project will take a little longer, as you’ll need to give each layer time to harden before pouring in the next color. Choose contrasting colors for a nice effect. Another interesting effect is to alternate a layer of fine sand between the colored layers of wax.

Mix the sand with a little bit of melted wax, and then pours in around the outside edges of your mold. Let the next layer of colored wax fill in the center.

Molded Effect On Making Candle Project

Molded candles effect:

Just about anything can be used for a candle mold such cardboard milk cartons, heavy glass mugs or old jelly jars, plastic foam cups, old plant containers. So, in this candle project you can start by coating the inside of the mold with oil or silicone spray to make the candle easier to remove. Some molds, like milk cartons, may need to be secured by tying string around the middle and base so that it holds its shape.

Cut a hole in the bottom of the mold. Thread wick through the hole and seal the hole with putty. Pull wick tight and secure at the top of the mold by wrapping the end around a pencil or dowel. Melt wax as described above.

For pouring wax, you might want to use a coffee can or other container that you can bend, just pinch/bend the rim to make a pouring spout. Heat the wax to 130°F for cardboard, plastic or glass molds, and 190°F for metal molds. Lift the can with potholders and pour the wax into the molds. Read the rest of this entry »

Make Candle Smell Good

Following this art of candle making project’s step, you need Fragrance oils or Essential oils to make your candle smells good, you can free to add the aroma therapy as you want.

Fragrance oils can be purchased at many craft stores, candle making supply companies, and specialty fragrance companies. For best quality (and for the best burning candles), it is best to use oils that are specifically made for use in candles. The air freshener type oils you see in grocery and drug stores will work, but they may not blend as well with the wax. The oil should be pure oil with no water or alcohol base.

You’ll want to experiment with the amount of fragrance oil. Some candle makers use anywhere from 3 to 10% fragrance per pound of wax, some measure in tablespoons and use from 1 to 3 tablespoons per pound, and some measure in ounces and use from 1/4 oz. to 1/2 oz. per pound.

Essential oils commonly referred to as EO, it’s all natural oils derived from plants and fs - not artificially composed like fragrance oils. They are generally more concentrated and stronger than many fragrance oils (and much more expensive). Candle makers have differing opinions as to whether EO’s should be used to scent candles, due to their ability to bind with the wax.

Some candle makers have success with them using a special dilettante agent and some say they work fine on their own. But many have said they do not blend and burn well. If you want to try using EO’s, it would be best to get a book on aromatherapy and do some research before experimenting. Many of these oils should be handled very carefully.

Coloring Ways On Candle Craft Project

You can buy dyes for wax at most craft stores or candle making supply company. Dyes come in solid (cakes or chips), powdered or liquid form. To know how much dye to use, you should test the color of the dye by dripping a little bit of the melted wax onto a white piece of paper and letting it dry.

The actual candle color will be darker than what you see on the paper, but this should give you an idea of the finished color, and you can adjust the amount of dye accordingly. You can also try using leftover stubs and pieces of old candles.

We do not recommend using crayons to color candles, unless the candle won’t be burned. Crayons contain pigments that can drown out the flame, giving you a poor burning candle.
