Wax Lanterns
If you like a warm illumination, you need to have wax lanterns in your house. I want to show you how to make a wax lantern with inclussions to illuminate your special moments. Besides, they’re very secure as candle holders because there’s no risk of falling down. Anyway, never leave a candle alone in a room.
Do you want to learn how to make this craft? First of all, get this materials: paraffine wax, vaseline, 2 cilinders with diferent sizes (mold), candle dye (a very light colour), materials to make the inclusions (dried flowers, dried orange, dried leaves, seeds…)
First of all, put vaseline to the outside wall of the smaller mold and to the inside wall of the bigger mold. Dissolve the paraffine wax and add the chosen dye. Puor some wax in the bigger mold to make the floor of the lantern.
Once the paraffine is dry, put the smaller mold inside and place the materials to include in the space between the molds.
Puor the paraffine wax in the borders and when is completely dry, take the molds out carefully.
Add some paraffine inside the lantern to reinforce the floor.
To finish your work, put a small cande in the lantern and enjoy the soft and peaceful light it will give you.

I read similar article also named Wax Lanterns, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me
