Изготовление резных свечей – это сложный процесс, which requires certain skills. To make a beautiful product, you need to have an artistic taste and talent. In addition, a good knowledge of the properties of paraffin is required to perform complex cutting of this material with a variety of tools. Having created several original candles, many start their own business in this field. With what to begin?
Изготовить резные свечи в домашних условиях может almost everyone. The entire process of creating similar products can be divided into 5 stages. Some steps should be performed in a hurry, as the paraffin is very quickly solidified. How to make carved candles?
To begin with, the core of the futurecandles - workpiece. For this use pure wax or paraffin. The workpiece must be made in the form of a star. It can be five-or six-pointed. The height of the core should be approximately 30 centimeters. In general, it all depends on the author's preferences and the desired result.
The next stage is the preparation of baths containingliquid paraffin of various shades. This will make the carved candles more original. The number of such baths depends on how many different colored layers the product should have. For each shade, a separate container is required. Baths with liquid paraffin must be constantly heated, so that the material does not freeze. The temperature of the composition also matters. This should be between 75 and 90 ° C. A very high temperature will allow the application of a thin layer of paraffin, and a low one - a thicker layer. The complexity of the pattern on the cut depends on this. If the paraffin is applied in thin layers, the candle will be more interesting and original.
To make original carved candles yourhands, it is necessary to impose several layers of multi-colored paraffin. How to do it? It is necessary to immerse the workpiece in turns in baths with different shades of material. In itself, this process is simple. However, the master must feel the temperature of the composition and have a knack.
Заготовку необходимо зафиксировать на проволоке и alternately put in each bath with paraffin. At this stage, you should not hurry. After each bath it is necessary to wait a certain period of time for the material to freeze. To speed up the process, you can gently lower the workpiece into cold water. Do not wait for the full hardening of paraffin, as later it will be impossible to perform candle cutting. The main thing is that the paraffin is fixed on the core.
Cut candles are difficult to produce without certainskills. Perhaps the first time you will not get the perfect product. After all, after baths with paraffin, there is only 15 minutes to create a beautiful picture. The complexity of the process is that such a short period of time does not allow you to experiment and carefully design the design.
To start, you can practice on monochromecandlelight. To do this, carefully heat the products with a hairdryer or microwave, and then apply the pattern. This will not only allow you to learn how to work quickly with the material, but also to feel the paraffin.
Carved candles are almost ready. It remains to trim the base to the finished product was more sustainable. It is also necessary to make a small depression at the very top of the candle for the wick.
