Okay so this is a little off my usual topic, but I think it's noteworthy. Many of us often try to think of something fun to do on a date, or after a date. My thinking is why not make it a fun craft date-with the added bonus that it's likely they haven't ever done it before, so it will be memorable.
So it this sounds like something you might like to do on a date keep reading, below I will outline a very simple candle making project you can do with things you have laying around for the most part, and the best part is he/she will have something THEY created with you to take home and remind them of the fun date they had.
It really is a win-win for you and them, they get to try something new and fun, and you get to help make a memorable and fun date they will remember for quite some time. So to start off; take a look at the list below and make sure to have the supplies on hand.
-
An empty can-from say canned fruit or something, make sure to wash it out of course
-
Wick-this is the one you will probably have to drop by a crafts store and pick up, you can use other things such as strings, etc but they often don't work well at all. Best to grab the real thing.
-
Wax, now you can either pick some of this up at the crafts store or use Crayons-a decent sized box should do nicely.
-
Crayons-If using only crayons you are already covered. These are to mix with the other wax for color.
-
A sauce pan half full of water.
Now heat the sauce pan half full of water up-not boiling, and place the empty can inside the middle. Put the wax in the can-or break up the Crayons and drop them in. Heat until the wax melts.
Take a nice length of wick-about 4 inches, and slowly dip it into the melted wax; then slowly pull the wick back out and hold it until it cools. Repeat this process until the candle is as thick as you want.
Now at this step if you haven't been using Crayons for wax, melt some into the wax can now. Dip the candle a few times and twist the wick-so the candle spins a little as it comes out of the wax, this should make a swirl effect with the Crayon colors.
There you have it a wonderful candle made on a date with someone that is hopefully having a lot of fun doing these wonderful little candle making crafts.
Some ideas for uses for the candles of course are dependent on the people making them. Some people like to keep them in the bedroom, some people like to make candles as gifts, and some people even start their own businesses making candles and selling them.
Online, and offline it's only a matter of finding a market, candles will always hold a special place in our hearts.
