Ideas for Center Pieces candle on a table..

Hi,

I would like to share my idea of center piece candle for table decoration purpose...
For this u need,
1.Wine Glass
2.Water
3.Floating Candle

Take the glass,clean it with clean water and wipe it dry.
Fill the wine glass with water and place the floating candle on top of the water surface

Light the candle,

and turn the lights off.. to see how beautiful it is :)

 

To add more beauty to your table add few shells in the water and light the candle and see it will be charming :)

Emergency Crayon Candles :)

What should be done when power goes off and you dont have any emergency lights or Candles at home?

Check if you have any Crayons :)
Dont get astonished.. Yes i just told Crayons...
Wax Crayons are flammale and they can be used as a candle :)
Just take a Crayon remove the paper around it...if not is also fine.

Time to lit it up...
and theres your emergency candle ready...

The small sized crayon will burn for 30 mins and bigger ones for 2hrs :)
Isn't it cool? :)

What inspired me to start making candles

I thought I should share how and what inspired me to start making candles,lemme introduce myself before I start.

I'm Sravya Chilla, working as a software professional.
Many must be thinking...
Engineer? and Candle Making? Y?
Whats the need?
Do you have time?
Will you have time?
How do you manage things?
Don't you think you are getting stressed?

These are the questions I usually face.. Specially when i wanted to give a try and took my mom for shopping she pulled me back for not taking huge bulk stuff...coz she felt I'll be strained...!!!

I was on so called "BENCH" for a period of month in my office...Leisure time... was reading few blogs on the system... some where some candle making stuff stroke my eyes....Continued reading... then started exploring...not many in India though... saw few small tiny 5yr old kids making candles as their hobby?
When it is possible in the USA or UK.. Y can't i make them was the question which stroke my mind...
Mean while saw some beautiful candles in @home, they were awesome...bought few and those pushed my dream further.

Still had a doubt... Can I? To boost my confidence... saw few more bogs many videos and pages....gave a thought of how many types of candles can I make and all... who will buy from me? I asked my husband... I wanna start a small business... I need X amount... without a second question he told ok..

Got few shot glasses,wax,wicks,colors and started to make layered shot glass candles...dint work out so well....

Next wanted to make cupcake candle... took cupcake liners... made the cupcake with icing... and this was amazing....

I showed it to my husband and asked him... I need some more X amount to expand this... he just gave me a challenge... Just sell one candle and show..!! ill give u the X amount...
I got frustrated but took it as a challenge... my first candles were just 2 shot glasses for my colleague in Gurgaon... Mr.Ashok Singh...
I told my husband... see I sold...
From then he supported me in every aspect...for all the candles I make now, his support being the first reason,my family,my friends supported me in all aspects :)

Thanks for all you support :)
