Budget Candle Making
Looking to make a few candles for your self or with a scout group? On a tight budget? Then try easy-clean, paper-cup candle-making.
This is a variation on the traditional milk carton candles so popular with scout groups. I would just like to point out that although that article recommends coloring with crayons, it is a bad idea since crayon pigments often clog the wick causing poor burning.
IMPORTANT: Regardless of the methods used, candle making can be very dangerous if not done in a safe manner - Read these Safety Rules before making any candles.
