Here is one of my favorite candle recipes from my book:
Balloon Candles
The hollow bowls of wax give these candles a lantern feel to them. Giving the wax some colors adds to the warm glow and nostalgic appeal of the lantern.
What you need:
- Paraffin wax
- Balloons
- Wicks of your choice
- Wick sticker
- Large pot
- Color of your choice
- Fragrance of your choice
Directions:
1. Measure out your wax and add the coloring and fragrance of your choice. Do this in a large pot to give some space for the balloon, so choose one that is appropriate for the size of your candle.
2. Once the wax is ready, fill your balloon with some water, inflate it to the size you want and tie off the end. Hold the balloon by the end, and carefully dip it in the wax. Get it up about 3/4 of the way up the balloon. Let the excess wax drip off, set it a bit, and then dip it in again. Go for about 10 to 15 layers.
3. Hang the balloon by the end and let it fully set. Once it's set, carefully pop the balloon and remove it. Wipe the inside of the Candle dry. Set your wick inside it, and melt the leftover wax. Pour in the leftover wax inside. Let it fully set and cure before lighting.
