Make ice cube candle yourself

Cut up a H-milk carton on top. Prepare as many ice cubes as you want to make the candle. Pour it loosely into the container. Slowly melt the scraps of candles in an old pot. Now pour the liquid wax to the ice cubes.

Leave the whole in the milk carton for about two hours, then cut the cardboard carefully away.

Where the ice cubes were before are now holes.


Everytime there are other effects!

WICK:
The wick can be attached as usual with different methods:
Bust milk carton on the ground. Make knots in the wick and pull through the box from below. When filling in the ice cubes make sure that it stays reasonably in the middle. Since the hole is never very tight, I put the whole thing in a small container of sand. So only a few drops of wax run out, but they are immediately hard in the sand and can later be scraped off the bag.

Tip: I usually only provided this type of candle with a "decorative wick", because I never wanted to light it anyway. For this I heated a knitting needle and added afterwards about 2 cm wick.
