Amazing Idea!

This is the cutest idea, I just love it! Follow directions below pics to do it yourself.

































































You will need:

~ Glue Gun
~ Candle Thermometer ( or you can also use a candy thermometer)
~ Pre-waxed Wire Wick with clip
~ Creme Wax and or pieces of old candle from your home
~ Bag clippers or bamboo sticks
~ Scent for Candles (you can do rose, vanilla, lavender, etc)
~ Vintage Silver Containers or tea cups or any other container you like!!
~ Double boiler (in my case I use an old pan with an aluminum cookie cutter in the middle and on top a glass container, measuring jar, and then I pour some water). the important thing is that the water is not supposed to touch the glass container.

1. Set the double boiler with water, cut wax and place it inside container. Hook on the thermometer. Burner on high.

2. Glue the wire core wick clip using the glue gun at the bottom of the containers you are using.

3. Hang wick by off a bamboo stick so that the wick is nice and straight. You can also use a bag sealer clip to grab wick, it just need to be long enough.

4. Once the wax is melted and gets to about 180F, take it out of the stove and add color. Wait until it get to 175F and add scent (don't bee shy when adding scents...it really needs a lot).

5. Pour the wax into each container making sure the wick stays in place.

6. I let it sit a little and then i added the rose petals so they sited at the top.

7. I checked them for the next half an hour on and off to make sure the wick was still in place.
