Here is a very unique candle!  It has a particular texture and the finish glistens like ice.  Just like fingerprints, no two ice candles are ever alike!!

Our example would be great for St. Patrick’s Day.  Give a loved one an ice candle this holiday as a lucky gift.

Materials:

• Hexagon Pillar Candle Mold 122865
• 4625 IGI Paraffin Wax Blend

5. Completely stir in 6 drops of Green Dye.
6. Thoroughly mix in 1.5 ounces of Agave Fragrance.
7. Fill the Mold 1 inch from the top with pieces of Ice.  NOTE-for a better effect, make sure the pieces of ice are no bigger than 0.75 inches.
8. Pour the Wax into the Mold being sure to fully cover all of the Ice.  TIP-pour the wax all over the top (if you pour in just one spot a hole will be formed in the ice).
