Sand Candle

I'm definitely going to try this!

Sand Candle

Materials:

• 1-lb. bag of soy wax flakes
• All-purpose or play sand
• Waxed 3 ½-in. wire wick with clip
• Candle wax dye

Instructions:

Step 1
Dampen sand 4-5 in. deep in a bucket, a sturdy cardboard box or a sandbox. Dig out a star shape 7-8 in. across and 2-3 in. deep. Make a small, shallow circle in the center to help the finished candle sit flat on a table.

Step 2

Melt wax flakes and dye in a double boiler over medium heat. Slowly pour melted wax into sand while holding wick in the center of the star. Allow wax to harden completely, about 4 hours.

Step 3

Carefully dig around the candle until you can lift it out. Lightly brush off excess sand.
