| My house of candles talks
There are lots of candles out there, but I love most are floating candles. Their styles, shapes, colours and scents can also be added to them to give off a desired mood. Floating candles and tea light candles have gone over very well with the decoration market, in a range of floral designs. They are available in the shape of a rose, sunflower, orchid, hibiscus, frangipani and daisy. They capture the attention and imagination of the people while watching them, as they create a warm, tranquil environment, and never forget they are a very good choice for a gift. I love my candles which I sell. All my candles are hand made products, they are realistic flowers made by skillful and experience people. An invented work starting from a single petal to a finished flower floating candle. Their features are uniquely designed, made from high quality paraffin and wick with variety scents and colour. It is not that hard to make one but you might need some experience to make them as good looking, colouring and floating (if you make the floating candles). By the way if you are a person who enjoys making them yourself try the advice below. |

| Boil up the several chunks of wax in the pot, then put stearic acid and Micro wax, mix them well. Keep a watchful eye on the wax as it melts and when the time is right use a thermometer to see if the wax has reached a temperature of 180 F.
When the wax has attained the correct temperature and then turn off the heat, pour the colorant into the pot for the desired effect you are striving for. Now it is time to add any scents or special oils you wish to have (try to put the one as a flower scent), stir well and then you can pour the wax into the mold, but don't fill it completely. When the wax begins to form a skin, make a little hole and then insert the wick into the bottom of the mold . Top off the candle, then wait for the wax to be cool and hard. Pop the candle from the mold, trim the wick to 1/2 inch and now is the time to float your candles, do they float? Have fun and I hope you enjoy yourself!! |
