Thank you for the directions....these look like fun, but are the candles burnable after they dry, or are they just ornamental??
TIA for any info!

Yes, they are burnable. I had to try to make sure. They burned just fine. I was worried about giving them to people without trying them. They smell so good while making them.

Thank you for the info....I want to make some as soon as I can pry a grandkid or two free to help!! (They are mostly grown GK's, so don't worry about them getting hurt!)

Here's a pic of some of my candles.

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:1479971}}

All my pics that I posted hase disappeared. Trying to post again. Sorry!

Cheri, I love your dipped candles, I would like the directions, when I clicked on your first link it has directions for a rag garland.....do you think you could either re-post directions or personally e-mail them to me....Thank You!

Hi Brenda,
Sorry, the directions was in the August newsletter. I e-mailed them to see if I can get old directions. I haven't heard from them. But I did make a copy of the directions. They are easy to make. I just melted some wax (they said to keep the temp. at 155-175) Add vanilla or Ivory color. I used crayons. Then add some scent. Then dip your candles into the wax then roll them in cinnamon do that 4-6 times or till you get the look you like. They are addicting to make. I got candles at the $ store and Big Lots. Big Lots had some that are called a ultilty candle. They are 6 1/2" tall. They are .59 for 5 of them. I just saw a bundle of 3 of these at a craft store yesterday for 7.99. They also talked about dipping ornies, hang tags, stuffed hearts and stars, cinnamon sticks, dried apples and oranges. They also say be careful not to burn yourself.
Have fun making these,
Cheri

Cheri, thanks for the instructions, I think these would make nice gifts, one other question, What did you use to melt you wax in? was wondering if it would not be good idea to use pot good cooking pot....
Thanks
Brenda

Brenda, I used an old metal coffee pot. I had used it before for pouring into molds. They say to use a Presto Pot. That would be good that way you could control the temp. If the wax is to hot it comes off the candle. Think I'll start looking for a pot at garage sales. I had to tilt the the pot so I could coat the utilty candles.

Cheri, Thanks again for the reply on that...I too will be on the hunt for a presto pot...thanks
