House, design, repair, decor. Yard and garden. Do it yourself

From ancient times, people knew that the element of the fire purifies and burns all the negative energies, checking the aura of a person.
For our ancestors, the fire was one of the relevant manifestations of the Divine Force. Nowadays, as before, all the Vedic rituals take place near the fires and the giggle. If they are held at home, then in the red corner - the candle burns. Fire furnace, fire candles - is a visible and bright image of the rules and gods that manifest themselves in the flame of fire.
Special, the magical effects of the flame of the candle on the aura (thin bodies and shells) of a person is that the flame helps to clean the body from the whole negative, accumulating day in the afternoon. And if a person living in urban environments rarely arises the opportunity to sit by the fire, then he can always be lit with a candle.

Sowing near the lit candle at least 7-10 minutes, watching the fluctuations of the tongue of her flame, soon we begin to notice how the candle throws a small amount of soot into space. As the experience of our ancestors is saying, the fire burns spiritual fatigue, irritation and resentment, accumulated in humans. Soot is evidence that they burned.

Fire candles, soothes the mind, thanks to this, we can driven negative, negative thoughts and feelings, do not allow the disease to penetrate our physical body. So pain spiritual, gradually scattered, prevents the pain of the physical body. Together with the crackling of the candle, it goes away, and the peace and mental equilibrium again returns to her place.

I propose to revive the traditions of our ancestors and independently produce wax candles, both for daily use and for various rites and rituals. In addition, the manufacture of candles is a very exciting occupation.

Coastal candle from the platform with their own hands.

The easiest in the manufacture of the coated candles is candles from the coaster and herbs. For the manufacture of candles, we will need:

• farm sheet,


• wick,


• coasting herbs (optional),


• tassel for applying herbs powder (also optional, you can do it and hands, but with a tassel, it turns out faster and even more),


• fitila scissors,


• knife cutting a knife,


• line.

Warfare can be bought on a specialized site for beekeepers.

Farmer, when creating a candle, you need to twist tightly so that there is no emptiness, otherwise the candle will not burn without the balance.

Fitil must be cotton. (Santimeter 3 wicks in advance goes into melted wax so that when Ignoring the candle it is not burning, but melted).

Herbs are dried in advance and crushed in a coffee grinder to the state of almost dust so that there are no large pieces, because When burning, they can flash and create a strong crackling).

You can use different compositions of herbs to create candles. It all depends on the purpose you are haunting. For example, if you make candles for wanted protection, you can use wormwood, thistle and other coating herbs, for these purposes are especially strong herbs collected on the purchase . If your candle should bring peace and peace to the house, then use John's wort and mint.

Sut off the massacre of the size you need, I have 21.8 cm x 8.5 cm. It is convenient to make a knife, but you can and scissors. It is slightly heated so that it becomes plastic and easily twisted. This can be done above the burner or decompose in the sun.

Sut off your phytyl desired sizeFor my candle - it is 11.5 cm.

Put the wick to the edge of the coaster, slightly pressing it.

We put out the herbs you choose smooth, not very thick layer.

Tightly twist the massacre so that there is no emptiness, otherwise the candle will not burn without a residue.

Here is a candle and ready!

At the base of the candle, you can make a small bowl with a knife to distinguish this candle from simple (without herbs) candles from the coach. Since the Wagon smells very much to honey, she interrupts the smell of dried herbs, so it's outwardly these candles (without a label) difficult to distinguish.

Master class: wax candle in mold.

1. We cut the wax with small pieces, put on a water bath, on a small fire (twice or troika on the scale of the municipal gas crane).


2. We are waiting for wax melts. It is important not to leave it without attention if overheat - the wax can catch fire (in this case, it is necessary to simply cover the saucepan with a lid or fall asleep the fire with soda, and not to extinguish with water).


3. When the wax is completely melted until a homogeneous mass ...


4. Jump in wax thread to get wick. For wax candles, it is necessary to use a thread consisting of a plurality of small threads, poorly twisted.


5. With the help of toothpicks, we strengthen the wick in the form. To make a removable candle, you need to lubricate the walls of the shape of vegetable oil.


6. In the candles you can add ground spices - cinnamon, vanilla, etc., as well as very finely ground (in powder) Coasting herbs - good juniper, as one of the strongest faiths and cleaners of space from bad entities.


7. We pour wax half, add what we want to add to the candle and fill the remaining wax.


8. We are waiting for the candle to freeze - the wax freezes from the edges to the center. Next, we remove the toothpick, cutting the wick to the desired length. That's all.


9. Note - on the left of the candle from the usual bee waxAnd on the right - the candle from the church wax with the addition of juniper.

Candles from wax cleaners.

Creating candles from wax - real sacrament! The process itself fascins: meditative and relaxing. Such a candle is burning - 3 hours. She cleans the space very well, soothes and pacifies. The most important thing is that the flame is completely different, very different from paraffin. In addition, paraffin pairs are harmful to health. Macania is the most ancient way to receive candles.

You will need:

• beeswax,


• cotton threads - others will not burn (you can take advantage of ready-made wicks from stores selling goods for creativity),


• a saucepan containing a jar (a bottle with a wide throat) - Because We will melt wax on the steam bath.

In the jar, put wax with pieces, pour water into a saucepan, put a jar in a saucepan, turn on the stove and wait for the wax to completely melt.

When the wax is completely melted, cotton cord is loose in wax. After back in the jar, overweight wax, we take the cord aside and wait when the wax will cool and hardens.

Then, loyering again, wait again, while the wax will cool. It is necessary to wake with one exact movement, without delay in the jar, so that the previous wax layer does not have time to melt in hot wax.

The better you cool the candle in the air - the more wax It will capture with the next Macania.

When the thickness of the candle suits you, cut off the bottom of the candle and cut the wick.

Candles are ready. There is a similar candle of 2.5-3 hours. It has a very beneficial effect on well-being, cleans the space from all unnecessary.

You can immediately do several candles (three or four wicks in work at the same time), while some kind of fooling, others cool. Wax cools quickly.

At the end of the process of making candles, the remaining wax can be left in the bank if you plan to often make such candles. Or the wax can be poured into a saucepan, right on the water. When the water cools and the wax will freeze, it is necessary to remove the wax circle and stored to the following cases.

By this way, the wax is cleaned of impurities - they settled between water and wax, after which they are easy to remove them with a knife.

It is important to make candles in a good mood. In order for your candles to be magic, you need to repeat mantras, conspiracies, sall climbs during their manufacture. Mantras and Slavs you can find in the article "Sorry of the native gods."

The amplitude of this movement is 10-15 centimeters. The time during which you will hold a rite choose by you arbitrarily.

Surely at this point you will see the emerging from the flame soot. Hold the candle near such a zone until the candle stops smoking! When the flame becomes clean again, keep moving along the spine up to the top of the top.

In recent years, the manufacture of candles from mass production slowly moved to the homemade workshops of the needlewoman, turning into a creative occupation.

Candles that some century ago were not only the main source of light, but also a peculiar welfare indicator of the families used in wealthy houses instead of a smoking lady have long lost their original meaning. Today, it is relevant to make candles with your own hands at home to use them in a completely other quality - as an element of the exquisite decor and a constant attribute of the creation of a romantic mood.

The advantage of this type of hobby is that the occupation is a simple, non-piece, and a beautiful result can be obtained pretty quickly. For these reasons, the manufacture of candles at home will have to do and it will be under the power of the needlewomen of all ages - both mastyt, and not very experienced.

What you need for creativity

The most pleasant thing is to start work the minimum set of materials is needed:

• candle gel, wax or paraffin;
• fitil or cotton threads without synthetic impurities for its manufacture;
• form for pouring a candle;
• elements for decorating.

Wax or paraffin can be used from conventional household candles, of them, they will not be difficult to extract the finished wick. Candle gel is also easy to make it yourself. Instead of an expensive form, you can take any suitable refractory container - a beautiful cup, a jar, a tin box. In short, the start of the new hobby will not be very expensive. We can say that this is one of.

Based on the main material used for the manufacture of candles, two basic technologies are highlighted - wax and gel, which are largely similar, but still have their own nuances in the work.

Secrets of making candles from wax or paraffin

In the process of creating a product from wax, the most responsible is the moment of melting material. There will be good skill and speed of action, since molten wax or paraffin quickly cools, besides, it is very hot and easily can burn.

Also before making a candle with your own hands, it is important to choose to choose the thickness of the wick: if you make it overly thick, then the candle will be overlooking and smoking, and it will be very thin will constantly go out. The density of the wicking of the wick is also played a big role - for wax and paraffin candles, the threads should be twisted slightly loosely so that the flame does not go.

There is no universal council here - the optimal thickness and density of twisting threads for the phytylka will have to be displayed only on personal experience, by the method of samples and experiments. Each master over time produces its formula and secret of successful work.

Gel candles do it yourself

For the manufacture of beautiful transparent candles that do not distinguish either odor, neither smoke, you can use the finished gel wax, and you can cook consumables Alone. In the latter case, you need to purchase such ingredients such as glycerin, tannin, gelatin, distilled water and mixing them, boil on low heat until the fluid evaporates.

This technology is somewhat more complicated than wax, but the result is attached efforts - products are obtained very elegant and unique. During cooking, the mixture can be poisoned, but this is a temporary phenomenon that passes immediately after the cooled of the gel.

Gel opens a lot of different opportunities for decorating. For example, it looks very beautifully stood with transparent waxing seashells, pebbles, starfishes, dried citrus or flowers. Eth think to make candles with their own hands at home can women seeking, since no harmful substances are distinguished during operation.

Creating Aromasons Home Conditions

Separately, it is worth saying about the aromasons - they are also easy to do at home. The advantage of aromatic household candles is also in the fact that it is possible to have one hundred percent confidence in the environmentalities and the harmlessness of fragrant components.

Candles - silent witnesses of secrets, quiet friendly conversations, intimate confessions. They illuminate not only the house, but also consciousness, allowing you to penetrate the chords of pleasure and comfort. But only natural candles from wax bees are able to become not only a stylish decor element reflecting our taste even in the light of the day. Wax candles have unique healing properties!

Candle: biography

The first candles began to make in ancient Egypt, more than 3 thousand. years ago, out of fat animals and oil fish. These were small containers with liquid fat, where the wick went.

Romans Makali twisted papyrus in fat, which froze and allowed the material longer burning. The Chinese and the Japanese were used for wick rice paper, and american Indians Pine resin candles made.

Candles from waxed bees appeared in the Middle Ages. Unlike fat, the wax did not give soot and unpleasant odor, burned bright and smoothly. But the beeswax was difficult to get, it cost expensive and applied only for aristocracy and church. In 1850, paraffin invented from oil and slate. Candles have become available for any wallet. However, the use of paraffin candles turned out to be unsafe for human health.

What are the harmful candles from the paraffin?

Carcinogenic and toxic, they distinguish benzene and toluene during combustion. Benzole has a strong allergic effect. The nucleus of general toxic action is toluene - causes poisoning, endocrine disorders, reduces performance, accumulates in the cells of the central nervous system. The diethyl phthalate contained in such candles causes dizziness, a violation of the rhythm of breathing, headache, nausea. And with frequent exposure affects the nervous and respiratory system and contributes to the formation of cancer. The listed substances are especially dangerous for pregnant and children.

Paraffin candles have many other flaws:

When extinguishing, smoking with a heavy strong smell, unpleasant and fatty to the touch, they are lit quickly, neuro, they can not be lit and use as an air freshener.

The best alternative to many modern candles from the paraffin are candles from real bees wax. They are not only safe, but also useful!

What is beewax?

Bees produce wax by special wax glands for the construction of honeycombs. In cells from wax, insects grown their children and keep honey. The most high-quality wax is obtained from the intake - wax caps, which are sealing cells with a mature honey. Before pumping honey, the butter cuts these lids. This wax is beautiful yellow color And smells honey.

Beeswax contains more than 300 different connections. It contains minerals, propolis, resins, admixtures of flower pollen, vitamin A, Betakarotin, etc.

The wax occurs from light yellow to yellow-brown color and has a characteristic, very pleasant smell. On a cut or on a break, it is matte with a small-crystal structure.

Beeswax is hardening at room temperature, and at 38-40 ° C it becomes soft and able to take any shape. At 70-73 ° C, the wax becomes liquid.

Why do not need wax candles?

1. 1. Natural candles are good for health! Candles from wax are completely natural, an environmentally friendly product. They possess the healing power of nature. When burning, the wax allocates antimicrobial enzymes, therapeutic esteros - the air in the house is cleaned. This is especially useful during the outbreak of viral flu. Candle components destroy pathogens and increase immunity. Action of wax candle when conducting natural "inhalation":
