The thermometer hit 90 degrees Fahrenheit this weekend in Michigan where we were spending the weekend and it seemed like a good time to break out the summer crafts. We decided to make sand candles. You may want to try this project as the candles are very unusual and beautiful keepsake to commemorate a trip to the beach.

You have two choices when making sand candles. If you can find candle wicking at a craft store you may use that to make your candles. If wicking is difficult to obtain or if you just feel like taking a shortcut you can just use a store bought candle and embed it in the wax and sand and no one will ever know the difference!

Supplies

  • Paraffin (buy it in small amounts at the hardware store in the canning department or buy a big block of it at a craft store.)
