Recipe - Bright Ideas With Candles * (Part 1)

PATTI VDRJ67A

DECORATE WITH CANDLES

1). Candle wax cleanup: Where there are glowing candles, there can be some
dripped wax. Colored wax, especially red, can cause stains. To remove
hardened wax from washable fabrics, carefully scrape the excess with a
knife. Place the stained fabric between several layers of white paper
towels. Press with a warm (not hot) iron, replacing paper towels as wax is
absorbed. If the spot remains, place the stained side down on whole paper
towels; sponge the unstained side with cleaning fluid. Launder the cloth as
usual. If any stain remains, do not put in dryer. Repeat the cleaning fluid
process; apply liquid or spray laundry stain remover and wash with
appropriate bleach.
2). Place candles in the freezer for a while before lighting. They will
burn more slowly and drip a lot less.
3). Brighten an adult's dessert plate with soft candle glow by using the
small candle holders designed to clip onto christmas tree branches. Insert
a candle and clip to each dessert plate and light the candles just before
serving for a sparkling, festive touch.
4). Red apples can be made into candle holders by cutting holes in them
with an apple corer or paring knife. Insert candles and tie colorful
ribbons around them.
