subject: Floating Candles Can Be Purchased Or Made at Home [print this page] Author: ali Author: ali
There are many types of floating candles, including those that come in wonderful scents that ca make a whole room smell fantastic, as well as those that have no scent but work wonderfully as accents. You can find them in just about every size, shape, and color imaginable. Floating candles can be placed in the bathtub to add to the relaxation that a bath provides, and they are often made to resemble flowers and other fauna. Wax naturally floats, so the key to these types of candles is that the bottom is smaller than the top -- and wider is always better. A wide base with a wider top is the best bet for floating, though those may be more difficult to get a hold of. There is a simple three step process for making homemade floating candles. The first step involves boiling down the wax in a double boiler. Once the wax has melted it can be poured into molds (an easy one is a cupcake tin). Scent can be added to the melted candle wax before it is poured into the mold. Once the wax is poured into the mold it should be allowed to cool, though not to the point where it has completely hardened. The final step is to insert a primed wick into it. Once they have completely cooled, then they are ready for use. These types of candles can be purchased from many home goods stores as well as department stores, as well as online. They can usually be purchased for fewer than ten dollars, and in some cases fewer than five dollars. These candles can make everyday a special occasion. Floating candles are an exceptional choice as a gift or as a special treat, and are relatively inexpensive, easily obtainable and can be made at home with a few simple steps.
