INSTRUCTIONS
Making candles is a fun way to spend some time with the kids. Alls you need is wax (any arts and crafts store) ac moore or michaels, crayons, jars(empty pickle jars works best i think) , or quacker oats oatmeal can if u wanna make a free standing candle, the long skinny single candles
(number varies on how many candles ur making, 1 per candle) and some food extract(vanilla, cinnamon, hazlenut, ects) . the wax will have intrusctions how to melt it down, once thats done, u add a crayon for color, u melt it down too. in the jar u want to cut the long shinny candle down to jar size and stick it so it stands up in the jar. Once the wax is melted with crayon and the extract for smell, then poor it in the jar just to the top of the long skinny candle. u can add little trinkets that will dry in the wax . to get a cool effect put ice in the jar before u pure the wax in. its fun and someparts are made for grown ups but the color and smell are kid safe woth help and picking then out. And when its all done kids are amazed at how it turns out.
