Ice Cube Candles

I had to come up with a craft for our teen moms and knew they wanted to make candles. This was easy and fun to make.

You will need:
* Dye Chips (crayons)
* Candle Wax With Low Melting Point
* Tapered Candles
* Coffee Cans
* Ice Cubes
* Wax-covered Milk Cartons
* Saucepans

Instructions:

1. Wash and dry the inside of a wax-covered paper milk carton. This will be your mold.

2. Use or make a taper candle for the center to avoid having holes around the wick.

3. Break wax into chunks and estimate how much you'll need to fill half of the carton. Too much is always better than not enough.

4. Make a double boiler by putting about an inch of water in a saucepan. Set a clean coffee can upright in the water.

5. Set the heat to low and melt the wax in the coffee can.

6. Add dye chips if you want colors.

7. Fill the carton with ice cubes.

8. Pour the melted wax on top of the ice.

9. Let it cool.

10. Pour out the water.

11. Tear away the carton.

12. Wait at least 2 days before burning the candle - it needs time to dry. For best results freeze it for a day.
