Cutters
Candles
- Use metal
cookie cutter for a mold to make novelty candles (baby showers,
holiday gifts, party favors) to make candles. You'll need:
wax for melting; colorant; scent; wick; plastic plate. For
these candle making supplies, check with your local craft
store. Directions: Melt the wax following directions (add
colorant and scent too). Pour just a little melted wax onto
a heavy plastic plate. Allow the wax set just slightly,
put cutter into the wax to create a seal that will prevent
the remaining wax from seeping under the cutter. Add the
wick and pour the wax till it almost fills the cutter. Allow
to set up and remove candle from cookie cutter.
- Pour warm
scented wax onto a lined baking sheet and cut out shapes.
Place wick in center of cut-out wax shape, cover with second
cut-out using warm wax to glue. These also can be used to
attach to your ribbon/bows on a gift.
- Make candle
holders.. These can be made with clay that has to be fired,
but would work with an air drying clay, too. Roll a slab
of clay out so it is slightly bigger than you want your
candleholder to be and about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into the
shape you desire. From about halfway up, cut out designs
using cutters--the smaller the better. Remove the clay that
the cutter cuts out. Take slab and drape over a cardboard
box so that the corner of the box creases the halfway point.
Allow to dry (or fire if using a clay that needs firing).
Paint or glaze. When finished, it will sit on its lower
part and the top part with the cut outs becomes the "window"
for the candlelight to shine through.
- Make floating
candles out of the cookie cutters. I roll out some play
clay and push in the cookie cutter. Then I push in the tip
of the wick in to the clay. Pour in the wax and pop in the
fridge. Thanks for all your 218 uses for cookie cutters.
