Candle making



I was very excited when this activity came in notice, as I always wanted to make candles of my own. As coloured candles look better than white, I made wax melt by double heating and added red colour and mixed it with the help of spoon. I dipped wig (the thread which burns) in wax and kept it to solidify, and poured wax in the molder. After 20-30 sec, I dipped wig in molder full of wax, so that it stands straight. I kept it undisturbed for 1 day and my candle was ready to serve the purpose. This was a new challenge for me and it was very exciting. In this activity I got help from my classmates and we worked well. I will try to sell my candles well, so that the money we collect collectively will be used for some good cause.
