Handmade Boss Day Gift Ideas
Gel candles
Material Needed
- Ceramic containers, like mugs and glasses
- Gel Wax
- Candle Wicks
- Pencils
- Pot (for melting wax)
- Candle Scent and Color (non alcohol-base)
- Sharp Scissors
Procedure
- Take a pencil and string the wick around it, leaving some of the
wick free to reach the bottom part of the candle container. It must
go straight down the center of the container.
- Put the pencil with the twined wick on top of the container;
allowing it to hang down the center of the container.
- Melt the wax, by cutting it into cubes first, to hasten the
melting.
- Add color and scent, making sure that they do not make the wax
cloudy.
- After melting, pour the gel wax into the container you have
prepared.
- Fill the container, but set a limit.
- Make sure that the wax-turned-gel fully cools down.
- Check out the wick, if it really takes the focal point of the
container.
- Trim the wick to ¼ of its total length.
- Next you can tie a ribbon around it.
- Stick a nice card, with a special message, to the container.
