When you've done the basic melt - pour - unmold process, you might want to get up close and personal with your candle. Change the look of your candle by impressing your unique candle making ideas with your own hands. Here are instructions to 3 easy projects.
How to commemorate a memorable day at the beach? Start with a pillar candle. Position it firmly in a shallow mold slightly wider than the candle - old microwave safe plastic containers will do. Fill the space between the candle and the sides of the mold with loosely packed sand at least an inch high; have your shells and other beach treasures on hand. Melt the same kind of wax as the pillar candle and pour enough wax on the sand, poking it with a wooden chopstick or barbecue stick, making sure it is thoroughly soaked with melted wax. Into the liquid wax/sand mixture, carefully insert shells, twigs, or stones and press against the candle. You can do this free hand or plan it by laying your pieces on paper cut to the circumference of the candle. Unmold when the wax has hardened, being careful not to chip the sand frieze.
Give dipped candles a tweak by carving into them. Start with a finished, pillar candle - cubes will look nice too. Hold the candle by the wick and dip it into a tall container of melted wax dyed a contrasting color. Hold it in the melted wax for a few seconds before lifting (a long wick will keep your hand from the heat). Cool at least 30 seconds before dipping again. If possible, do not set the candle on any surface it can stick to. Repeat 3 or 4 times or until you are satisfied with the coverage. When cool, use a carving tool, even a sharp toothpick to etch a design deep enough to show the color of the pillar candle at the center.
Tissue wrapping paper that came from a special gift can be wrapped flat around a candle and pinned to stay in place. Use a heat gun or a blower set on high to make the candle tacky enough to affix the tissue paper. Remove the pin/s. The candle can then be dipped in melted wax for a protective covering. Use a wide circumference candle to avoid setting the paper on fire.
In a pinch, you can use store bought candles for these quick and easy candle making at home project or ramp up plain looking candles, and have a whole new line of products to offer. Now tell me that wasn't easy.

Garden Tools From the Kitchen Drawer
Why go and spend a fortune at the nursery on new tools, when there is probably a wealth of unused stuff tucked away unused in your own kitchen, or someone you knows kitchen that will more than adequately do the exact job you want, without having to spend a cent.
Just make sure that anything taken from the kitchen really is not wanted there. As well as the fact that such stuff is on a one way permanent trip out to the garden shed.
Here are just a few suggestions of stuff that are useful kitchen refugees,
Old dinner knife for digging weeds out from between concrete sections or pavers.
Old kitchen fork for light weeding in around tight places or where you do not want to disturb root systems that are close to the surface.
Good sharp kitchen knife or a pair of kitchen scissors are great fro dividing up clumps of plants, or for taking cuttings off of a branch.
Kitchen tongs can be used to pick up thorny cuttings or to help you repotting thorny plants like cacti.
Serving tray or placemats to keep things organised or for carrying produce, cuttings or even weeds.
Potato Masher for pushing past a thorny plant or rose.
BBQ or Carving Forks for digging out stubborn rooted weeds and root vegies.
Kitchen funnels for pouring various liquids into containers or for accurate pouring around plants. or to get seed or even small screws & nails into storage packets or bottles.
Chopsticks make great little pot stakes (metal and wooden skewers work too), or construction sets even for some jobs.
I've seen bamboo placemats and chopsticks cut down to make scenery pieces for bonsai planters, along with old aquarium ornaments.
Set of measuring cups and measuring spoons are great as scoops for fertilizers and potting mixes.
Icecream or soup scoops for measuring and scooping potting mix in around new potplants.
Egg rings and biscuit cutters for shaping growing fruit just for fun, or as a simple handheld hoe for light weeding in around plants.
So theres a few things which can obtain a second life out in the gardenshed and garden, nstead of being stored for years in a drawer, or being thrown out or passed on to a charity store.
