Mom ordered I think 50 pounds of soy wax to make candles with. She also ordered all the jars, wicks, stickers, fragrance, die etc. Everything you need to make your own candles. So the evening that everything arrived we started making a a few. It was fun but we need to figure out how many drops of die to put in the wax. When we thought we were getting a deep red...we got pink (after it dried) and when we thought we were getting a fairly dark brown...we got a light brown (that is not a very pretty) color. :( But anyway here are a few pictures.
