I got some lovely roses for my anniversary last week...and roses seem to be blooming all over Texas. Many candle (and soap) makers have used flexible silicone and latex molds for years. They're wonderful for making intricate soaps and candles, but until recently have not been very affordable. Some of my favorites are carried by GloryBee Foods. But lately, most discount stores like Target and Wal-Mart have been carrying a selection of silicone molds (designed for baking, but perfectly useable for candles and soap) in the baking section - and they're very inexpensive! I've also seen them at hobby shops like Michaels. My friend Merlene had just gotten a nifty Rose mold, so we had a candle making day. This new project gives instructions for making Molded Rose Candles. You can make roses, or use the instructions to make any silicone molded candle.
