Making Concrete Candles with Gold Leaf accents with Maria Reed for Maker Monday

3/23/2021

7 Comments

 
I have a really cool DIY that I want to share with you for Maker Monday, concrete candles! They are really cool and fun to make and I'm going to walk you through how to make them. So if you're not following us on Instagram or on TikTok, I encourage you to follow us over there as well. We like to put different content on all the different platforms, so you're not going to want to miss anything!  ​
Here’s how to make Concrete Candles with Gold Leaf accents:
...But first you’re going to need a few things!
​ 
  • Repurposed Pringles can(s)
  • Quick set Concrete
  • Double Boiler for Wax
  • 8" Candle Wicks 
  • Wooden skewers or pencils
  • Gold leaf and gold leaf adhesive.
  • Hot glue gun​
  • Gloves
Here's how to make Concrete Candles:
  • Start with a Pringles can standing straight up.
  • Use 1 cup of quick set concrete  and slowly mix in some water until it is about the consistency of peanut butter.
  • Once fully mixed drop a little at a time into the bottom of the pringles can, being careful of how much you put in.
  • You can also try dragging some concrete up the sides for a cool effect once the wax is added.
  • Let the concrete dry for about 5 hours.
  • Once it is fully dried grab your hot glue gun and make sure the glue is really hot or the wick will not stay in place when you pour the wax in.
  • Glue the end of an 8” Candle wick into the concrete candle inside the Pringle can. You can use a long stick to help you if you’re unable to get it stuck to the bottom.
  • Secure the wick in the center of the can with wooden skewers or pencils if that’s all that you have on hand.
  • Now you need to melt your wax, For this I used an existing candle and melted the wax. 
  • Melt your wax in a double boiler and try not to pour your wax if it is over 150-160 degrees. *Ideal temperature for not getting sinkholes.
  • Pour your wax in around your wick carefully and let sit overnight.
  • Remove the Pringles can carefully to reveal your concrete candle.
  • Once you have removed the Pringles can you can add a finishing touch like Gold leaf.
  • Using gold leaf adhesive put the pieces of gold leaf wherever you would like to add a beautiful gold accent. *Wear gloves to protect your skin and the delicate gold leaf. 

Once you have decorated your candle to your liking -You’re all done! Wasn't that fun?!

My wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.
