Taper Candle craft-along Livestream Tomorrow Night at 6:00PM EST
🕑 Added 2021-11-29 15:41:11 +0000 UTCHello!
I hope you enjoyed this month's candle making episode! Now we're going to make something much simper, but also very useful :D The livestream link will be posted tomorrow and will start at 6:00 PM Easter Standard Time.
Things you will need:
A spool of candle wick
A metal nut (To be used as a weight)
A Tall thin metal container in a double boiler (I'll link below the items I used for this)
Paraffin, Bayberry or beeswax (A hard wax is ideal)
Wax Dye if you choose
Wax fragrance if you choose
A piece of wood roughly 1X2 inches thick and 8-12 inches long (these measurements are a simple ballpark, lots of things will work)
This should be a really fun one! We'll be in the attic and we'll see if the bats make an appearance :D
See you tomorrow!

I don't think I am going to be able to make this one. I have rehearsal for It's a Wonderful Life tonight and it will be cutting it close. Plus travel time. I will have to catch it afterward. Still excited, though!
Ashley Lucero
That is SO cool, Iβm totally going to look into that. Thank you for sharing!

It's an online class through morbid anatomy! It's 4 sessions going over different styles of victorian hairwork and some of the history behind the art. I've only had one class but so far I'd totally recommend it!

For anyone who can't afford wax, go to the dollar tree and pick up some of the white pillar candles! They're hard wax, cheap, and already in a thick glass so you can melt them easily in a pot of water on the stove and pour them into the tall, thin metal container that we will be using for dipping. Also a cheap pack of crayons can help you tint the candle mixture. Can't wait for this project! Love you guys!
Ashley Lucero
Iβll be making a creepy wreath! Canβt wait to watch along and see what everyone makes β€οΈβ€οΈ

Tell me more about this! π

This video made my weekend... I knew you would never intentionally create such a sassy candle, but I'm not gonna lie, the thought of it made me laugh so hard. Looking forward to the tapered candle video.

I have a Presto Kitchen Kettle that I use to melt wax in. I make candles for a shop at the Renaissance Festival and I like the temperature control on it. I also use it to fry corn dogs.
Amber Wade
Darn! I've got my victorian hairwork class at the same time. I'll have to catch this later!

Do be careful not to annoy the bats. This includes "environmental effects" (smoke, fog) or overly strong scents. (((Hugs))) for you! Stay safe!
