New Year's Candle

Monday December 26, 2005
Bring in the New Year with this great variation of the Hurricane Candle and the Photo Candle. With the hurricane shell, you can embed anything that will fit into the 1/2" or so of the shell. With the photo candle, you can embed any graphic or photo on plain white paper. I made some "Happy New Year" Candles for family and friends. One year I printed my New Year's Resolutions on the paper so each time I lit it I was reminded of all of the things I still had to do before next New Year's Eve! You could likewise write "Goals for the New Year" or "Words to Live By" onto the paper and embed that into the candle. Whatever you choose to float into the wax, it will be illuminated with a lovely warm glow that can be enjoyed over and over. Happy New Year!
