pocie2 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Ok people. I have been asked by the neighboring 4-H club to help them make a water candle for their next project. Duh! I forgot how to do it. I know I need a core candle. A taper really and that they are dipped into water that wax has been poured into or on top of. But I don't want to mess this up for them and I need some help with the directions. They don't want to make ice candles, that is too childish, they told me. Besides they made one before. Anyone know where I can find the instructions? I need them before the 11th of January. TIA!pocie2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Try e-mailing Donita. I know she posted something about water candle instructions awhile ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustpuuppy Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 You can go to the archives and run a search. I posted some over there, as did some other people. We had some long discussions about techniques, as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Here's the link to Donita's instructions.http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/thecandlequeen44/album?.dir=e82b&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photosYou should be able to print them out for the 4-H club. Be sure to cover safety 1st with the kids. The pour pots will be hot. You could use small aluminum pans for the base. They would probably like trying different colored waxes.

pocie2 Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 Not quite what I was looking for, but, I'm going to let the question hang around for awhile to see what comes up. Still thanks to all of you who replied, I really, really am grateful for your help.pocie2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
