Cut-Out Candles
What a great list of ideas!!
I see that you have homemade candles on your list so Im going to add a specific candle project that is both quick and very cute!
Cut Out Candles
Children will love making these easy candles -- and so will you.
What You Need:
Tiny candles make great gifts.
Cookie cutter, any shape
Candlewick
2 sheets beeswax
Instructions:
1. Cut out shapes. Lay sheets of beeswax individually on cutting board. Cut out shapes with cookie cutter.
2. Stack. Place 2 layers of beeswax together, placing wick in between; press together.
3. To burn candles: Secure them on another small piece of beeswax or on a nonflammable surface so they won't tip over. Do not leave burning candles unattended.
