 Adding ice cubes gives an uneven, fizzy texture with
random holes on the surface.
Melt the wax
with the desired colour. Grease a rigid mould with oil and pack 1/2 of
the container with small ice cubes (larger the cubes, the larger will be the
holes) or crushed ice. Stand the mould in a bowl or a dish. Now place the primed wick in the center
or thread the wick through the hole in the mould and suspend the wick
vertically in the mould by tying it to a split cane or a toothpick. Pour the melted wax into the container. Now leave it for setting.
The setting time will be lesser than usual as ice is added. As the ice
cubes melt, the water runs out through the hole in the mould and different shapes of holes
form all around the candle
which will give a unique effect to the exterior of the candle. Carefully remove
the candle from the mould by pulling the
wick. |
