This year the girls and I decided to make candles out of vintage china. We collected various sugar bowls and teacups and bought a soy candle making kit from the craft store. It was a very thrifty project.
Here is how you do it (a brand new dance now): Attach the wick to your candle holder. Melt the wax. Pour the wax in the candleholder. Wait.
It's important to use jazz hands when making candles.
Tiffani worried that the wax wouldn't turn white. We assured her that it would. "It better, she said, or else these are just going to look like little pots of urine." So then we all stared at the candles for awhile, hoping real hard that they'd turn white.
They did. We raided my scrapbooking supplies to make little tags for them. Luckily, I just happened to have a couple, a few, enough for an entire country.
Finally, we took pictures in front of the Christmas tree. We were going to hold the finished candles in this picture. But we forgot.
Oh and by the way, I dyed my hair black.
