Floating Candle Molds

Secrets To Making A Red Foil Candle For Valentine's Day

Why not make some red foil candles and treat your partner on Valentine's Day to a special romantic dinner. They are really not very difficult to make and are not expensive to make either because they can be made in molds that you have around the house.

Pillar Candle Molds

To get the best affect a reasonable sized candle should be made and around the home you probably have some molds that you can use, such as:

• Waxed milk cartons

• Tins from tinned vegetables or fruit • Or you could set the wax into glass molds

Once you have your mold already with the wick in place, get some red foil paper, scrunch it up and push it down around the wick. Loosely fill the mold about 3/4 of the way up and push the foil out towards the sides of the mold so that it will be visible once the candle is set. When the wax is melted, gently pour it in over the foil.

So that the wick has the best chance of continued burning, use a skewer and gently manoeuvre the foil away from the wick and also ensure that the wick is straight. Check that the foil has not floated up with the wax and that it is spread out through the length of the candle.

Don't forget, that if you are going to use glass molds, the glass does need to be preheated from cold in an oven, up to 150 degrees before pouring in hot wax.

The best affect will be from using a white wax and the foil makes a lovely effect as the candle burns down. Set the candle up on a glass plate with a few red petals scattered around, a bottle of wine and have a great evening!

Other ideas for candles on Valentine's Day are:

• to make a white pillar candle and decorate it with red stick on hearts

• make a red pillar candle and display it on a glass plate with little heart chocolates around it

• make some red floating candles in the shape of a heart

• make some red candles in the shape of a teddy bear or any shape that your partner is particularly prone to

• use some red taper candles to decorate your intimate dining experience.

Candles are the epitome of romance and to woo your male lover on Valentine's Day use a sexy perfume in your candle like sandalwood or for a female a musky scent is usually very popular.
