    The Beauty of Making Tealight Candles

    Relaxation comes in different forms these days, but most demand a heavy price. Perhaps the most simple and inexpensive way to relax is by using candles. Candles are not seen just as objects providing light but soothing objects of pleasure. Many candles offer such delight like scented candles, sand candles, fake food candles, multicoloured hand rolled ones and tealight candles. Of this tealight candle is a favourite among many as it is suitable for accent lighting and heating scented oil. It is a candle encased in a thin metal cover and liquefies completely while lit. They make any bubble bath or garden setting complete.

    Tealight candles are simple and easy to make at home. The apparatus needed are a smelter or double boiler, Stainless steel measuring cup, Popsicle stick, Scissors, Funnel and a lid off a box to place your tea lights in. Tealight candles can be prepared with an Aluminium Tea light Cup, Paper core pre tabbed Wick and Candle Wax.

    Firstly place the cups in the box, and close the lid to avoid overflows prior to pouring in the wax, as other wax stays within the lid. Place the tabbed wick in the middle of each of the cups. The wick is tied to a piece of metal to stop it from floating to the top of the molten wax and burning before the wax does. The tealight candle cup is made of bendable aluminum and therefore should be carefully handled. Trimming the wick properly can help the candle give a larger flame.
