What is Water Balloon Candle Making?
Water Balloon Candle Making is an age-old tradition of using a blown up water balloon as a decorative candle container. It is the perfect way to bring an extra “pop” to special occasions, such as birthdays, parties, and holidays. Water Balloon Candle Making is a great way to add a fun and creative element to any event, and it’s so easy to do!
Making Your Water Balloon Candle
Creating your water balloon candle is quick, easy, and provides instant gratification. Here’s how:
- Gather your supplies. You’ll need a water balloon, a candle wick, and your choice of wax, such as beeswax or soy.
- Fill the water balloon with the wax. Place the water balloon in a tall container, like a drinking glass, for stability. Fill the balloon with your wax, leaving enough space at the top of the balloon to hold the wick.
- Add the wick. Thread the wick through the neck of the balloon and tie it off so that it stands up in the center of the balloon.
- Allow the wax to cool. Give the wax at least an hour to cool and harden in the balloon. Once hardened, the balloon should easily slide off, revealing your decorative candle.
Tips for Water Balloon Candle Making
There are a few tips to keep in mind when making water balloon candles that will help ensure success:
- Choose the right wick. Make sure to choose a wick that is the right size for your water balloon. Too long of a wick may smolder and cause the container to overheat.
- Choose a wax with the right melting point. Natural waxes such as beeswax or soy are best for candle making as they have low melting points.
- Be careful with the heat. If the wax is too hot, it can cause the balloon to burst.
- Keep the flame away from children and pets. Water balloons are fragile and not necessarily childproof, so keep the candles away from little hands.
