We have been given a lot of candles that needed to be melted down and made into fresh candles. I have been trying different techniques to make the candles look different. Some of the wax has been poured into glass jars and then an inspirational sayings put on the outside of the jar. These jars in the picture have the candles placed in the jar after they have been taken from the mould. Both ways work well. The other candle is dipped in the burgundy colour and then has a flower painted in acrylic paint on the outside. To seal the candle after you paint it you need to buy some wax paper and then wrap it around the candle with the wax side of the paper facing towards the candle. A heat gun is then used to put a thin layer of wax on the outside of the candle. The roses behind the candles are the first for the season from my husband Robin's garden. As you can see I love roses.
