Too easy - candle sand, the perfect last minute candle.


When the visitors are on the way and the table is set, but atmosphere? Missing!
If it's anything like our place then so much is left until the last minute and then time has run out.

And I am the candle maker, so this is a great tip from me - find your nicest dishes, bowls, saki cups, as a matter of fact any glass or ceramic.
The pantry hordes so many lovely platters that don't get used so take this as the perfect opportunity for a unique candle.

Thinking back to when you were a child, maybe you remember making coloured sand patterns in bottles and jars? so this is much the same.
Tall vases can hold a lot of wax which could be layered for a striped effect. But smaller vessels simply using plain or white (natural) wax is fast and easy.

Now here's the instructions:
pour the wax beads around the wick & hahaha you're done!
If you want the colour shake the beds in a plastic bag or container with a bit of food colour and some drops of essential oil.
I have used palm wax for this project because it is the smallest bead around and it is totally natural too.

This is all on the video attached. I do hope you can use this information and enjoy the short adventure of it.
