Transforming prisons, transforming futures
It’s a good thing too.
from Bath and Body Works..Bonus points if it’s in a pretty jar that can be reused!
I especially love the ones with the pretty lids with no branding on them for using in organizing projects once they’re clean!.If your candle is a higher quality one, it will usually have a softer wax, so grab yourself a butter knife and just slice right through it like it’s, well, butter!.OK, it’s a little more challenging than cutting a stick of butter, but as long as you end up with some wedge-like shapes, or any other shape that frees up the wax, you should be able to remove the wax pretty easily.
If your candle has wax that’s a little more brittle, you can put the whole thing in the freezer for a few hours and the wax should just pop out.I like the knife method a little better though because I can just get it done right when I’m thinking of it.
I tend to forget candles in the freezer for weeks.
Out of sight, out of mind!.It’s a lovely thing!.
I’m sure there are many “better” methods out there for making these, used by the “real” sewers of the world.This one works just fine for me though!.
Make yourself a triangle template out of some kind of cardboard (mine’s from a old lasagna box if you’re interested) and cut out two triangles from each fabric that you’d like to use..Put the two triangles together with right sides facing in and sew along the sides of the triangle, leaving the top open.. Repeat a bunch..
