Primitive Grungy Nubbies , Tapers & Wax Tarts

Looking for a way to make those adorable cinnamon grunged candles and nubbies you see in the stores? What about that extra wax from a candle you no longer burn?

Well, here is a simple solution that is inexpensive and easy enough for even the beginner! You can buy store bought tapers , or make your own with a mold ,or the old way , by pouring your melted wax on a cookie sheet and rolling them . You do not have to buy expensive equipment to make these.

Items needed :
Old , clean coffee can
Needle Nose Pliers
Wax paper
Cinnamon
Cloves
Old cookie sheet

Wax from old candles you have laying around or from candles you have burned and wanted to throw the last of it away . No No, save that wax for new tarts, candles, nubbies, and dipping ornies ~ Save it!

Large Pot filled 1/3 of the way up with water. Place on low heat for simmering. Place all of your saved up wax in your coffee can. Place coffee can in pot with water to melt your wax.

While waiting for wax to melt get your wax paper on the table or counter you will be placing the candles as you are done dipping and rolling.

Place your cookie sheet beside your wax paper, sprinkle with your spices so you can roll your candles in it.

When your wax is melted, add your fragrance oil if you want to scent, take a taper, with your needle nose pliers, get ahold of the wick and dip in the wax as many times as you like. Then roll in your spices and place to cool on wax paper.

For Nubbies , cut your taper into the sizes you want your nubbies to be and do the same as for the tapers.

For wax tarts , you can use old lids, metal jello molds or any mold you like. Sprinkle your mold with your spices, add your wax. Let cool and unmold , rub again with your spices.

This can also be done with pillars. You can also melt different colors of wax and dip in different layers of colors.

This is the simpilist of things, that you will have so much fun making all sorts of new things!!
