Introduction: Reuse Plastic Bottles and Old Candles to Make New Candles
Materials needed
Old/used candles
Weaved cotton rope
Used plastic bottles
Tools needed
Drill
Drill bit (same diameter as the cotton rope)
Cooking pan
Duct-tape
exacto knife
nails
stove
Step 1: Drill Holes
Drill holes in the middle of the bottom of the plastic bottles
Step 2: Rope and Tape
Cut pieces of rope the size of the bottles plus 10 cm
Example bottle height = 15 cm therefore rope length = 25 cm
Now put the rope through the bottle
Use the duct tape to tape the rope (very tight) tothe bottom
Step 3: Knot Around Nail
Tie a knot around a nail so the rope will stays in the middle of the bottle
Step 4: Melt the Candles
Break pieces of the candles and put them in the cooking pot
Let the wax melt on a low fire
Step 5: Pour the Wax
Pour the molten wax in the bottles
Let them cool overnight
Step 6: Peel the Plastic of the Candles
Cut the rope just below the nail
Use the exacto knife to make a diagonal cut in the top of the bottle
Now you can just peel the rest of the candles
Cut the rope on the bottom of the candle
