The Sky is the Limit: Candle Making Ideas
There are many candle making ideas in books, online and in magazines. The variations on the different types of candles are almost limitless. Depending on the type of candle being made, there are different options to play with, from shape, color, fragrance or design.
Shape
Different types of candles inherently have different shapes. When looking for great candle making ideas, the first place to start is in the type of candle. Votive candles are small candles, so they do not provide as many options in design or color patterns. They are great candles to do in brilliant colors and also to experiment with different fragrances. There can also be some shape experiments too, but that moves more into the pillar type of candle.
Pillar candles
Pillar candles are the most viable option for experimenting with new candle making ideas since they tend to be larger. Pillar candles can be made in any shape that you can make a candle making mold to hold it. They can also be any size, so the options are limitless. Since there is more surface area, there can also be different colors and designs within a single candle.
Color
There are many different candle dyes and charts that can assist a candle maker with candle making ideas. With the development of gel wax, there is also the option of placing figures, colors and patterns within a clear wax so that they can be seen ‘floating’ within the candle. Crayons are also a fun option to explore in creating colored candles, and it also gets rid of those little bits of crayons that everyone hate to throw away, yet are not seemly useful for anything. Now they are!
match the color of the candle to the season
Another candle making idea is to match the color of the candle to the season of the year or the person to whom it is being given. Bright red and green might work at Christmas, whereas a more subdued copper and golden yellow is more appropriate in the fall. Springtime may evoke some pastel colors and winter the more earthy hues.
Fragrance
There are also many fragrances to choose from when coming up with candle making ideas. A candle maker can stay as simple as using the vanilla that she has on her kitchen shelf, to buying specific fragrances such as blueberry or strawberry to spice up her candles’ scents. Scents can also be matched to seasons of the year, such as ocean spray for summertime or pumpkin pie for fall.

Setting a formal table is more than just knowing where the salad fork goes. It’s paying attention to the small details that add up to a gracious experience. Watch how designer Rebecca Cole sets an elegant table.
Formal table setting – How to set a table
Here are table setting tips for putting an elegant table arrangement together:
Candles add the ambiance:
* A taper candle is a good choice for a formal table. Tall candlesticks like those made by Michael Aram are very nice. They come in different heights–mix and match the heights of both the candles and the candlesticks for a great look.
* Cut off a bit of malleable candle beeswax and push into the base of the candlestick before adding the candle. The wax will keep the candle tight in place.
Arranging the place settings:
* For a formal table setting, each seated placement should be identical. From the placement of the plates to the fold of the napkin, everything is aligned the same way.
* The napkin always goes on the left side unless you put it on the plate or in some other way. The fold of the napkin will go on the outside so the edges go in. And also the edge goes at the bottom whereas the fold goes at the top.
* Each guest should have at least three different glassware. Typically there would be a wine glass placed above the knife, a champagne glass a little right of the spoon, and a water glass to the right of the champagne glass, slightly above. The three form a little triangle.
Arranging the silverware:
* Every course should have its own silver piece: teaspoons, dessert forks, salad forks, dinner forks, et cetera.
* All silverware should be on the table when you sit down — don’t bring out dessert forks later when you serve dessert. All silver should be in its appropriate order of courses. This ensures that a guest doesn’t end up eating dessert with the dinner fork they just used.
* When arranging a formal setting, place the salad fork on the far left of the plate and work your way towards the plate. Next to the salad fork will be the dinner fork.
* On the right side of the plate is the knife; make sure the edge faces inwards. The soup spoon is just outside of the knife. Any other spoons will be to the right of the soup spoon. You might put the dessert spoon above the plate, however, so it’s out of the way.
