Ice Candles

Yesterday we started making ice candles. What we needed was a long candle, old candles, ice, oil and old milk cartons. First we had to cut the tops off the milk cartons and spread oil on all four sides. Next we had to melt the old candles. It smelt so nice! We then held the long candles in the milk cartons and poured enough ice in there to hold it still. After that we tipped the wax into the milk cartons and left them overnight. In the morning we came outside and ripped the milk cartons so all the melted ice came out. We did not expect it to come out of holes in the candles! In my groups one, four holes were shaped as a face. We thought that was really funny.

I thought it was cool how the ice melted out of holes.

It was funny how the holes shaped a face.
