While I was surfing the Internet one day I found a candle somebody made out of butter. I decided that I was going to try making a candle out of another household item, So I made a lip balm candle!

To make the wick, Roll out a piece of toilet paper very thin and fold the end up slightly.then poke the "wick" through the hole in the lip balm and secure it in place.

Finishing the Candle

Trim the wick until only 1/2 of a cm is popping out of the top. Then roll the end around in the lip balm to add extra burn "fuel".

Finished!
