Along the way, I discovered I'm a bit of a candle snob. Not only do I want my candle to smell good - I want it to look good, too.
This is a big problem because candles in beautiful containers are expensive. And I usually light a candle in my living room every day, especially when I want to make cold winter nights feel a bit more cozy.
An ice candle is a unique and beautiful decoration that can be made by freezing water in a mould. The process of making an ice candle is simple, but the result is stunning. The first step is to find a suitable mould, which can be anything from a plastic container to a metal can.
Once you have your mould, fill it with water and let it freeze. As the water freezes, it expands and takes on the shape of the mould. It is also a project which you can involve the kids in - just be careful when pouring the hot wax.
