You
will need: Dry
flowers, 1 candle, 1 ½ lbs of paraffin wax.
Use a dab of wax (warmed up) to affix
the flowers to the candle. Do this to each flower until the arrangement
is complete, making sure the flowers remain flat against the candle.
In a 9-inch dipping can (such as a coffee can) or seamless melting pot,
or even a dipping vat, set in the bottom of a double boiler over medium
heat, melt the wax. Heat to 205 degrees F. (Be extra careful with wax
at these temperatures.) Holding the candle by the wick, carefully dip
it in the wax. Hold for 5 seconds. Remove and make sure the flowers
are flat. Dip again for 5 seconds. Remove and leave to dry for 2 hours.
Trim the wick to ¼ “ and you are ready to light your candle.
