Yesterday we made ice candles! It was really interesting and it was really awesome when we pulled the carton off the wax and all the water poured out. Here are some steps and equipment to make ice candles yourself:
Equipment:
Old candles
Long candles
milk cartons ( the cardboard ones that you get soy milk in )
ice
Frying pan
Steps:
1. cut open the top of the milk carton
2. pour some olive oil inside the carton and spread it around in the inside, make sure you have covered all the sides
3. turn on the stove and put the old candles in the pan, melt them until it is just liquid
4. get your long candles and put one in each milk carton, make sure they are in the middle
5. fill the milk cartons up to the top with ice
6. get your melted candles ( if they are done ) and pour the wax into the carton
let the candles sit over night and rip the carton off them in the morning
here are some photos of us making ice candles:
