Getting all the essentials in place

If we're talking about a DIY Floating Water Candle Craft, there are a few must-have materials you'll need to gather before you delve into this exciting DIY project. The best part about candle crafting is, most of these items might already be hiding somewhere in your house. So here's what you're going to need: a transparent glass jar or bowl, a candle wick, paraffin wax, decorative items like colored stones, flowers, and leaves, essential oils for scents, and distilled water. Remember, you have complete creative control. You can choose whatever you want to personalize the floating water candle, making your Candle Craft even more special.

The Thrill of Candle Making

Alright, you've got all your items ready? Fantastic, now let's move on to the most enjoyable part of the process - Candle Making. Start by filling up your chosen glass vessel halfway with decorative items. Don't worry about how random or chaotic it looks. Actually, the more varied it is, the more beautiful your DIY Water Candle will turn out!

To make your own candle, position your wick at the center of your jar and start pouring melted paraffin wax carefully. Make sure your wick stays in place. Once the wax solidifies, it's time to add water, ensuring it covers the wax but leaves room at the top for the wick to ignite. A pro tip here: Always remember to leave a good amount of wick above the water for it to burn properly.

The Charm of DIY Candle Craft

Be patient to witness the DIY Candle Project come alive. As the wax starts hardening, your creative assembly within the jar will become visible; transforming the ordinary glass jar into a beautiful piece of art. The spectacle of a handmade candle glowing in the water is truly magical. Hold on to your excitement, because the best part is yet to come.

DIY Craft: Creating Pots From Folded Paper

• Construction or cardboard paper (thicker papers work better)
• Scissors
• Adhesive glue or tape
• Ruler
• Pencil

Instructions:

Start by gathering all the supplies mentioned above.

Using a ruler and pencil, measure and draw a square shape on your construction paper that is 20cm x 20cm. Carefully cut out the square.

Next, fold this square diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner, creating a triangle. Fold the triangle in half, corner to corner, creating a smaller triangle.

Unfold the small triangle back to the square. There should be lines delineating 4 smaller triangles on the paper. Fold each corner of the square to the center where the lines intersect, creating a smaller square with four layered triangles.

Hold down the centre and lift each flap created by the corners folding into the center. The edges of the paper will naturally form a pot shape. Secure the pot shape by gluing or taping the edges.

Press on the base and the sides to shape the pot. Your DIY paper pot is ready to be used as a pencil stand, decoration, or anything else you want!
