Candybee Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I started experimenting with making ice candles this week. This is my second attempt at one. I was trying for a 'cow' candle; white with black patches on it. Came out a little fugly but it sure was fun making it. I scented it peppermint and chocolate.I turned it around so you could see how the ice changed the 'cow' pattern on the candle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladysj Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I think they turned out great. I've been wanting to try the ice candles again since i've not made one since I was a kid. Longer than I care to mention ROFLMAO. You did a great job on those I like the way they turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnjieBurdett Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Those look fab! but one question .... how do you make those? The ice candles I have read about making are poured into a metal mould filled with crushed ice, then when you unmould all the water from the melted ice runs out and you are left with a pretty candle filled with holes where the ice was ....... how did you get yours black and white? I don't understand LOL.Anjie,x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I make them the same way. Fill my mold with ice, pour the molten wax in and let cool, drain the water out.But in this case I did a second pour to fill in the gaps left by the ice. I poke relief holes as usual so I don't have any gaps around the wick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
