Get Your
Candles, once man's chief
source of light, was pushed into
seeming oblivion by electricity.
But the flickering, old-fashioned,
warm glow of the candle's flame
never quite died and is now an
integral part of the Christmas
season.
Probably the first special
Christmas candle in America was
the scented bayberry candle
made by the early settlers. They
used the berries which produced a
greenish wax and gave off a lovely
fragrance.
Candles of today are available
in many different scents and in
glamorous designs and colors to
fit into the most sophisticated or
the most simple decor.
Make your own
If you are creative and have the
time you can have the pleasure
and satisfaction of creating your
own candles, either quickie
simply made ones, or intricate
prestige beauties,
Mrs. Robert Down has been
creating elegant Christmas
candles for five years, and last
Sunday she and her Sunday
School class at Exeter United
Church combined their efforts to
produce festive candles which the
girls will distribute to some
elderly or shut-in persons just
before Christmas,
If you plan on making your
own candles Mrs. Down suggests
you will need the following:
1. Braided wicking (purchased
at hobby stores) and wire centres
for candles to be left in glasses or
goblets.
2. Old candles.
3. Plasticine, used to plug holes
and hold the wick in the centre
hole of metal moulds.
4. Moulds: anything with a
bigger top than bottom or with
straight sides so the candle can
slide out easily, ie, milk cartons,
unridged cans, chocolate milk
powder cans, cups to make round
. candles, cardboard tubes, glass
jars or bottles (these must be
broken to get the candle out).
5. Color buds (hobby shop) or
old crayons.
6. Paraffin Wax (grocery
stores) or ten pound slabs (hobby
shops).
7. Silicone spray (le, oven
spray) or co okingoil to grease the
mould to allow the candle to slip
out easily,
8. Knitting needles for stirring
melting wax.
9. 48-oz. juice cans to melt
different eolors of wax in, which
are placed over heat in a large pan
of hot water,
10. Stearic acid: one
tablespoon for each pound of
WAX improves candle burning and
shine.
11, Tin foil plates to hold
moulds while the wax is being
poured (spilled wax can thus be
caught and used again),
12. A dish of cold water to drip
a small sample of wax into to test
for color. (Wax hardens several
shades lighter than finished solid
candles).
Ice cube candles
Chip ice to about the size of a
thimble. If the pieces are too large
the candle will be crumbly; too
small pieces will produce a solid
piece of ice that the wax cannot
penetrate.
Place the ice around a candle
making sure the latter is directly
in the centre of the mould, and
pour the wax in fairly quickly.
Let set for several hours. Drain
off water and remove from
mould.
"Keep experimenting" says
Mrs. Down, "Remember a
disaster can always be remelted
A little wax, a little time, a little patience can produce a candle to
grace any room in the house.
and tried again."
Solid Dandles.
Pat Down advises she achieves
a shinier, smoother candle if the
hot wax is poured into a hot
container,
Frosting
If your candle should turn out
bubbly and unattractive it can be
changed into a thing of beauty by
frosting it with whipped wax,
Frosting is made with melted
wax that has been allowed to cool
until a scum has formed on top.
Beaters can be used but Pat
prefers a fork, Beating the wax in
a juice can creates very little
splash and a fork is a lot easier to
clean than two beaters. Note: Do
not use stearic acid in frosting,
Decorate your candles by
sprinkling glitters on the warm
wax, or sequins, gold decals or
ribbons can be added to help you
produce a decoration that will
not only give you an inner glow of
satisfaction, but will produce a
warm Christmasy glow in your
house over the holiday season.
Decorating Hints
* A candle should be shorter or
taller than the holder, but not the
same length.

to four hours at a time and allow
it to cool completely before
