~google images~
An Old Time Favorite!!! Many of us made these as kids or watched Parents and Grandparents make these!! Carry on the tradition with your children and loved ones.
Supplies:
Cardboard milk carton
Candle wicks
Candle Wax
Ice
Double boiler
Directions:
1. Start your wax melting over low heat.
2. Trim off the top of the milk carton so you have an open box.
3. Dip the bottom of the wick into the wax and affix it to the bottom of the carton in the very center.
4. Fill the container ¾ of the way full with ice, keeping the wick in the center of the mold.
5. Pour melted wax directly over the ice until it’s just covered. Allow it to cool until hardened.
6. Tear the cardboard away from the candle once the wax is hard and then set the candle in the sink or a bowl until the water pockets have drained away.
Be sure to place candle on a holder or saucer before burning.
