I’ve been working on getting Summer ready in the garden! The flagstone patio is almost done, we have new furniture & I’ve been nurturing the flower beds! The intention is to create an outdoor room to enjoy on the Summer nights, so I made some stylish concrete candle holders & filled them with citronella scented wax to keep the bugs away!
What you need:
2 sizes of yogurt pot/small plant pot for inner
Sunflower/vegetable oil
Cling film
Tin foil
White cement (I used Hanson)
Building sand
Bucket & mixer drill bit
Wood candle wicks
Soy wax
Citronella oil
Double boiler
Tips:
-Mix 4 parts white cement to 1 part sand with enough water to make a cake like consistency.
-Use sunflower oil to coat the inside of the outer pot & outer of the inside pot.
-I used a small plant pot for the inner size & wrapped with clingfilm so the concrete didn’t go through the holes.
-Use tin foil to protect the sides of the pot when pouring the wax.
-Use a double boiler to melt the wax.
-Tap sides of the pot to get rid of any air bubbles in the hot wax.
