Introduction: Candle Ring Holder
Reuse and express your creativity with these simple yet unique ring organizers!
Supplies
Candles (new or fresh)
Rings
Hot water
Lighter(optional)
Knife(optional)
Step 1: Choose Candle and Mark
Pick a candle and mark about where your largest ring would fall. You can use this marking to form a candle base.
Step 2: Heat Water
Use a microwave or stove to heat up enough water to submerge your candle in. Make sure your water isn't too hot, this could melt the wax before you bend.
Step 3: Soak Your Candle
Soak your candle for about ten minutes, the hotter the water the less time it will take your candle to become malleable. (I used a purple candle to test out bending)
Step 4: Bend!
After about ten minutes, take your candle out of the water and apply force. Use your hands to bend the base of the candle into a ¨C¨ shape as a standing base. You can also bend the candle into an ¨S¨ shape and turn the candle horizontally. Feel free to express your creativity and bend into unique shapes; you can always cut a flat side into the wax as a stand.
Step 5: Design
Use a lighter to melt wax together if your design needs it.
Step 6: Organize!
I split my silver and gold jewelry with this two-stemmed candle. You can organize from largest to smallest rings or most to least used.
