Festive candle making

Recently we were asked by Baker Ross to review a festive art and craft kit and were delighted to receive a Christmas Candle Making Kit as well as Pic Tixx Candle Pens, Glass Votive Candle Holders and Ceramic Tealight Holders.

I loved this candle making kit because it's so simple to use and does not involve heating wax or making a mess. Sunnyboy loved it because it's a lot of fun to work with and he was able to make candles by himself.

First he broke off squares from the coloured wax blocks,

then molded them with his hands to make the shapes he wanted,

and finally decorated them using the Pic Tixx candle pens, added the wicks and left the candles to harden.

He made a Father Christmas candle,

an elf candle,

and a Christmas tree candle.

He also made some reindeer and a set of Scooby Doo character candles. He will be posting pictures of the Scooby Doo candles on his blog, sunny happy boy, very soon. Right now the Father Christmas candle is lit and we are tracking the movements of Big Red One on www.noradsanta.org.
