| ICE CANDLE Materials needed: Wax - We bought the bulk wax from Michaels Crafts on sale. Milk cartons - Free from school Small wicks - again from Michaels Crafts, they have the little metal bottom on them and the wicks were the perfect size for the milk cartons. Old Crayons Ice Hot Glue Gun Directions: We took the small wick and hot glued it to the bottom of the milk carton. Once it set we filled the milk carton with crushed ice. Melted the wax in a double boiler - used an old pan on top of a pan of boiling water to melt the wax. We added old crayons (same colors) to give the plain white wax some color. Once the wax was melted we poured it over the ice and put it in the refrigerator to cool. Once the wax cooler, took it over to the sink and poured out the water from the ice. Some additional ice had to melt and it took about 10-15 minutes for this, but once it all cooled we peeled away the milk carton and there is your ice candle. Very easy project, I have 2nd year Brownies and they want to do it again. Submitted by: Mary Ann Lorenz � Leader Brownie Troop 288 Fairfield OH Brownie Co-Ordinator - South Elementary |
