• Cinta adhesiva y tijeras
• Colorantes y escencias
• Una estufa, una olla y un recipiente de vidrio
• Guantes de cocina y un salvamanteles
Paso 1: Colocar los Pabilos
• Una estufa, una olla y un recipiente de vidrio
• Guantes de cocina y un salvamanteles
Paso 1: Colocar los Pabilos
Asegúrate que los pabilos o mechas cuenten con un soporte de aluminio en la base, esto ayuda a que se fijen en el fondo de la vela, si tus mechas no lo tienen puedes conseguirlos aparte y para colocarlos solo introduce la mecha en el soporte y fíjalo con unas pinzas. Después para asegurar las mechas o pabilos en las tazas de té se necesitaran dos palitos de madera. Para ello se sujetan los dos palitos con un poco de cinta adhesiva en una de las puntas. En medio se coloca la mecha y se cierra el otro extremo con mas cinta adhesiva. Al final quedaran los palitos sujetos con cinta adhesiva en ambos lados y la mecha en el medio. Esto hará que la mecha quede derecha a la hora de colocar la parafina derretida. Recuerda de colocar la mecha justo al centro de la taza. Repite este paso en todas las tazas.
Paso 2: Derretir los copos
Llena un recipiente poco profundo o una olla con agua y colócala a fuego medio sobre la estufa. Utilizando un recipiente de vidrio resistente al calor, coloca los copos de cera dentro y este recipiente dentro del que tiene agua. Conforme el agua comienza a calentarse los copos se irán derritiendo. Una vez derretidos añade el colorante y la esencia. Utiliza un palito de madera para revolver y quitar las escamas que puedan surgir en la mezcla.
Paso 3: Colocar la mezcla
Utiliza guantes para el horno y saca el recipiente de vidrio con mucho cuidado. Coloca el recipiente sobre un salvamanteles para evitar quemar la superficie. Con mucho cuidado coloca la mezcla dentro de cada taza de té, evita mover los palitos de madera. Llena las tazas un cuarto de pulgada antes de llenarla por completo. Lava inmediatamente el recipiente de vidrio para evitar que la cera quede pegada, se puede poner de nuevo a baño de agua caliente si se quieren derretir mas copos.
Paso 4: Ajustar los pabilos
Ahora solo tenemos que esperar, puedes salir a tomar un helado, caminar o ver un poco de televisión para esperar a que la parafina este completamente seca. Una vez que la parafina se vea opaca y este firme al tacto, estará lista. Ahora utilizando unas tijeras corta las mechas o pabilos justo sobre los patitos de madera. Y listo!! ahora puedes encender las velas y disfrutarlas, recuerda no dejarlas encendidas cuando salgas de casa.
You will need:
• Teacups
• Candle wax flakes
• Wax wick with support
• Wooden sticks
• Scotch tape and scissors
• Dyes and scents
• A stove, a pot and a glass container
• Kitchen gloves and mats
Step 1: Place the wax wicks
Be sure that the wicks have an aluminum base, this helps it fixed at the bottom of the candle, if your do not have wicks can get them separately and place them only introduces the wick into the bracket and secure it with a tweezers. After ensuring the wicks in the cups of tea you need two sticks of wood. Hold the two sticks with a bit of tape on one end. In the middle placed the wicks and close the other end with more tape.
In the end, remain the sticks taped on both sides and the wick in the middle. This will make the wick is straight when it comes to of placing the melted paraffin. Remember to place the wick right in the middle of the cup. Repeat this step for all the cups.
Step 2: Melt the flakes
Fill a shallow bowl or pot with water and place over medium heat on the stove. Using a glass container which is resistant to heat and placed within the wax flakes, then places the container within which is water. As the water begins to warm the wax flakes begin to melt. Once melted add the coloring and essence. Use a wooden stick to stir and remove the scales that may arise in the mix.
Step 3: Place the mixture
Use oven gloves and remove the glass container with carefully. Place the bowl on a trivet to avoid burning the surface. Carefully place the mixture into each cup of tea, avoid moving the sticks of wood. Fill the cups one-quarter inch before filling completely. Immediately wash the glass container to prevent wax from sticking, you can put back into hot water bath if you want to melt more flakes.
Step 4: Adjust the wax wicks
Now we just have to wait, you can go out for ice cream, walk or watch a little TV to wait until the wax is completely dry. Once the wax looks dull and is firm to the touch, will be ready. Now using scissors cut the wicks just above the wooden sticks. And hey presto! Now you can light the candles and enjoy, remember not to leave them on when you leave the house.
