Mom used to have a box of those! When I found them, they were already so old the color was coming out of them. I used them to make shaped candles. One, for my cousin, was in the shape of an outhouse, complete with a yellow moon on the door. They were easy to cut with a knife or scisors, and the pieces warmed in my hands and clung to the spot I wanted them to inhabit as though glued.
Warm a sheet so it is pliable. Roll a messy pillar for the inside. It doesn’t have to be neat: no one will see it. Just make sure the wick is long enough to hang outside and go all the way through.
Cut out four pieces for the walls as high and wide as the interior. Warm and press the edges together so you now have a clean square.
Cut two squares for the roof. Warm the edges at one end. Center the wick and press together. Then warm the square pillar’s top a bit so the roof will stick on.
Cut a door shape to fit. Warm and press on.
Cut a tiny moon. Warm and press onto the door.
Done. The candle will burn quickly because of air pockets, but the image is what you’re looking for.
Wow @Sivonnah these are beautiful. I just added them to my cart for check out.
What an amazing find. Very pretty.
Now when i say blessed I will see the actual .
Thank you for sharing.
Beeswax sheets are amazing! I make rolled beeswax candles with my kids in candlemas (imbolc). They don’t last forever though and definitely work better if they are not cold!
Each votive burns for over 10 hours each! Beeswax is amazing when it comes to a clean, purifying burn that lasts a long time. I can’t go back to parrafin after using beeswax- it’s really in a league of its own!
Thanks for sharing your fun find- always love seeing cute candles!
I have to wait to get them for a little while. I just bought a boat load of tea and incense oh and books My husband doesn’t care what I buy, but I’ve gotta spread it out some
