What do you think of when you think about the beach? Sun, fun, sea, bikini, calm, and more. All these are good things to think.
What if you could make a candle recalling that all these "good" things? Well, not difficult and can be easily done. You probably seen candles like these sell for a fortune.
In making your candle, you have to think about how or what you want to put on the sail. Think of the sea and the things that could remember it – sand, sea horses, starfish, rocks, etc. Now go get some of these things and also get a wick and some wax gel – which is only gel developed exclusively for the manufacture of candles.
Now find a container that fits your needs. Perhaps a small fish bowl type glass would be good to go. Really a nonflammable container is acceptable. If it's glass, you will be able to see clearly the landscape of the beach. Maybe you can even get blue glass.
Then his lock and cut a few inches longer than necessary. Put a drop of hot glue on the bottom center stick your container and the end of the wick in it. Let cool.
Once complete, take the gel wax, cut into small cubes and place in a container to heat and melt. If you are not familiar on how to do this, do a quick search on the net and get some ideas. Sure that heat is not too hot or too cold.
Keep at room temperature (about 200 degrees) until such time that the wax is completely melted, smooth and a thick liquid. For more attractive effects can be used to color materials that create effects of product promotion. Do not use coloring materials that would the gel lose its transparency and do not use water-based paste and dyes in combination. Not complement each other.
Add a little oil or fragrant gel for some effects. If the wax becomes cloudy, add some more gel cubes. Any scent that is used should be free of alcohol. For the theme of the ocean, choose a "cool" the smell more than that are fruity or musky.
Now instead of beach decor in the container. Building the scene layer by layer, ie, add a little sand, maybe a bit of gravel, then stick something in the gravel and carefully add more.
When the scene is complete and ready for pour the wax. If possible warm the container to about 150 degrees, you may receive fewer bubbles.
Pull the cord, add the wax and let cool for a number of hours.
He completed his sailing scene on the beach. Place somewhere for you to enjoy the memories it brings, or simply record and enjoy the fragrance and the flashing light it brings. You can always make another.
