Domace svece (Homemade candles)

Potrebno: pcelinji vosak, pamucni fitilj, kanap ili stapici od sladoleda i selotejp, tanji metalni duboki tanjir ili metalna kutija i serpica, teglice sa poklopcem ili case.

Priprema:

1) Ako vosak nije u ljuspicama izrendati ga na krupno.

2) U teglicu ili casu staviti fitilj. Najbolje je prcvrstiti sa kanapom. Omotati nekoliko puta oko fitilja pa sa jedne i druge strane zalepiti kanap selotejpom. Ili drzati fitilj izmedju dva stapica sladoleda dok sipate vosak.

3a) U serpicu sipati malo vode i pustiti da prokljuca pa smanjiti na srednju temperaturu (4). U tanjir ili kutiju sipati jednu casu voska i staviti u serpicu da se vosak otopi. Zatim dodati ostalu kolicinu i sacekati da se otopi.

3b) Ako dodajete esencijalna ulja, sad je vreme. Sacekati da se vosak malo ohladi. Dodati mesavinu esencijalnih ulja i mesati najmanje 2 minuta.

4) Sipati malo voska na dno tegle i ostaviti da se malo stegne da bolje drzi fitilj. Zatim sipati ostatak voska i ostaviti da se stvrdne na sobnoj temperaturi.

Napomena: za topljenje voska bolje je da koristite metalni tanjir iznad serpice sa vrelom vodom.

Kako da znate koliko voska vam je potrebno? U teglicu ili casu u koju zelite da napravite svecu staviti vosak tj. napunite teglicu ili casu do vrha, zatim napunite do pola.

Ako vosak nije u ljuspicama izrendati ga na krupno.

Savet: bolje je da koristite pcelinji vosak nego parafinski vosak. Pcelinji vosak je prirodan dok je parafinski vosak pun hemikaija. Tako pcelinji vosak duze i sporije gori. Takodje malo je skuplji od ostalih voskova.

Predlog: koja esencijalna ulja mogu da se kombinuju.

Required: beeswax, cotton wick, rope or ice cream sticks and Scotch tape, thin metal deep plate or metal box and pot, jars with lid or glasses.

Preparation:

1) If the wax is not in flakes, shred it on large.

2) Put a wick in the jar or glass. It is best to fasten with a rope. Wrap a few times around the wick and paste the rope with a tape on both sides. Or hold a wick between two sticks of ice cream while pouring wax.

3a) Pour some water into the pot and let it boil and reduce to medium temperature (4). Pour one cup of wax into a plate or box and put in a pot to dissolve the wax. Then add the remaining amount and wait for it to dissolve.

3b) If you are adding essential oils, now is the time. Wait for the wax to cool slightly. Add the mixture of essential oils and mix for at least 2 minutes.

4) Pour some wax into the bottom of the jar and allow it to tighten a little to hold the wick better. Then pour the rest of the wax and allow it to harden at room temperature.

Note: for melting the wax, it is better to use a metal plate above the hot water pot.

How do you know how much wax you need? In the jar or glass where you want to make the candle, put the wax, ie fill the jar or glass to the top, then fill in half.

If the wax is not in flakes, shred it on large.

Tip: It is better to use beeswax than paraffin wax. Beeswax is natural while paraffin wax is full of chemicals. So beeswax burns longer and slower. It’s also a little more expensive than other waxes.

Suggestion: which essential oils you can combine.
