Today in Textiles we began making coffee candles. In order for these to be sustainable we reused expired and second hand equipment. On Friday we will be assembling our candles but today we decorated them using sticky jewels.
Coffee Candles.
Materials:
3 Tablespoons of rice.
3 Tablespoons of coffee beans.
Tealight candle
Small glass jar.
Food coloring ( optional )
Add the rice into the jar evenly.
Add the coffee beans on top of the rice with small indent the size of the candle.
Put the candle in the small indent.
Decorate the jar if you want to.
Coloring rice (optional)
Add 3 tablespoons of rice into a snaplock bag with 3 drops of food coloring. Mix around until all the rice is covered. Leave colored rice on a tray to dry over 24 - 48 hours.
