Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 How to Make a Vaseline CandleThis is a step by step process on how to make a candle out of everyday household products. The candle is lightweight, easy to use, and great for outdoor adventures; it can also be doubled as a fire starter. This is a great supervised activity for children.Things You'll Need:Vaseline or another brand of petroleum jelly 100% cotton balls (not synthetic) Aluminum foil Scissors Knife Steps: Cut the aluminum foil into a 6 x 6 inch square. Rub the Vaseline into the cotton ball. Place the cotton ball in the center of the square foil. Tri-fold the foil over the cotton ball. Again tri-fold it length wise. Open the last tri-fold. Keeping the ends vertical for better reflection. Cut a "X" over the cotton ball. Peel the corners of the cut, exposing the cotton ball. Slightly pull a little cotton out of the cut for easy lighting. Ignite the cotton and enjoy brilliant light and heat for approximately 30 minutes. As flame expires, peel back the foil to expose more cotton for longer duration. Warnings:While storing, keep away from heat Store in cool dry place Adult supervision necessary While lit, do not leave unattended When lit, keep the candle stationary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
