Ice candle making 2201.



A blogger down in Hawaii was curious about ice candles. Seems appropriate weather to show how I make them, -44c wind chill with temperature of -23c. So her are some pictures and description.
When the weather milds out I’ll put them out to show them lit.

I ¾ fill the cans with water, let it freeze until only some water left in middle, remove from mold, cut hole in top to drain water, trim hole to accommodate candle. A couple of them the ice froze solid, so after removing from mold I drilled the hole.
Then the candles go in, votives in this case, and then you’re ready to go.

Cool, pun intended. Neat idea though.
