CRAYON CANDLE
You
need:- White wax Wicks Wax boil bags
Glass jars Old broken crayons Pencil or Chops Sticks
Instructions:-
1)
Get hold of a clear jar. 2) Purchase boil bags, wax and wicks from a local
craft store. 3) Assemble all your broken crayons and separate them into color
schemes. Use a sharp knife for better results.
The most difficult part
is to get the wicks to stand up straight while the wax is being poured. To make
things easier, tape the wick to a chop stick (if you have one) or pencil and lay
that on top of the jar. The candle will not burn well if the wick is not straight.
4)
After the jars are ready, melt the white wax in a boil bag.
5) Pour the wax,
a little at a time and add the broken crayons to the mix.
6) The crayons melt
on the virtue of the wax being hot and the effect is very artistic.
7) Once
the jar is full, top it off with a handful of some interesting color. The hot
wax caused the colors to "run" into the candles.
FLORAL
WREATH
It is an old Greek custom to hang a wreath
of fresh flowers on your door to celebrate special occasions. The rings are made
of raffia, grass, vines or any other supple material. The stems of the flowers
are cut to three inches or so and wired onto the garland.
1. Gather a bundle of long grass. If the grass is too dry to shape into a circle,
wet it down before shaping it and binding it with twine, fishing line or floral
wire.
2. Bind the small bunches of flowers together using floral wire.
Leave some of the larger flowers separate. 3. Randomly
secure the bunches of flowers and the single ones to the grass wreath.
