Sand Candles

Bring home some sand from your camping trip or vacation and make a candle to remember the good times.

Candle Wax
Shells
Candle Wicking
Bucket of Sand
Double Burner
Stick

Wet the sand and mix it for an even consistency.

Scoop a hole in the sand for the size candle you want.

Flatten out the bottom to give the candle a base.

Push the wick into the middle of the hole and tie the other end to a stick that rests across the top of the bucket to keep it taut.

Roll the stick if necessary to take up the slack.

Push seashells into the side of the sand.

Melt wax in a double burner.

Gently pour wax into the sand hole.

Let harden overnight.

Lift out of sand. Brush off the loose sand.
