Make and Ordinary Taper Candle into a Creative Twisty Taper Candle
Here's a unique and mesmerizing technique to turn ordinary taper candles into extraordinary works of art. All you need is a taper candle, hot water, and a smooth roller to embark on this creative journey.
Step 1: Soak and Soften
Start by immersing your taper candles in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes. This step is crucial as it softens the wax, making it more pliable and ready for transformation. Patience is key, so let the candles soak and allow the heat to work its magic.
Step 2: Remove and Roll
Take one candle out at a time, ensuring they are adequately softened. Grab your acrylic roller or any smooth roller of your choice. Gently and evenly roll the candle on a flat surface. This process not only flattens the candle but also helps to create a smooth, uniform texture.
Step 3: The Art of Twisting
Once your candle is flattened, it's time to unleash your creativity. Slowly twist the candle, allowing the wax to form captivating spirals. The softened wax will respond to your touch, creating beautiful, unique patterns. Experiment with different twisting techniques to achieve various results.
Tips for Success:
1. Work on one candle at a time to maintain control over the shaping process.
2. Ensure that the roller is clean and smooth to avoid any unwanted markings on your candle.
3. Embrace imperfections – the beauty of this art lies in its organic and unpredictable nature.
