candle making

this pound of beeswax has been sitting atop our fridge for months



It sometimes takes me a lot of research, review and courage to try a crafty thing like candle making. the mama at childhood magic gave step by step instructions which included pictures. thus, i finally got my head wrapped around making them and had all of the tools and materials.
playdough made it's first entrance into our home for this project.


We used cookie cutters as the mold. we put the candles into the freezer to firm up. they popped out really easily.  next time, i would add more beeswax as they were way shorter than i had wanted.  they did not burn as long b/c of how shallow they were.
