There's something sublimely ethereal about the flame of a candle... it reaches into the deepest darkness of every corner of our world and souls. It soothes a troubled mind, kindles warmest love, and spreads the festive mood.
And, best of all, candles are easy and inexpensive to make. The gentle warmth and soft texture of the wax makes candlemaking a perfect project for long, chill winter evenings
The simplest candles to make are the dipped ones - all that you will need is a tall vessel, a ball of wicking, and a block of wax. Follow these instructions to make up a batch, decorate as you please, light up, and enjoy!
