Tiny Bottlecap Candles
A tiny, super easy to make candle that you can fit 5-6 in your hand at one time (and, they double as a floating candle).
Supplies
You need,
one metal bottle cap
small candle wicking
ice pick (hole punchey thingy)
electric tape
vaseline

vaseline
Poke Hole
put a hole just big enough for the wick in the bottom of the lid, then cut a tiny piece of wick.
Bend and Tape
poke the wick through the hole, leaving a little bit at the bottom, bend that over and tape it, (the tape keeps the vaseline from leaking through)
Fill It Up
fill the bottle cap with vaseline (don't worry bout burying the wick) grab a knife and dig out the wick.
Use a lighter to melt the vaseline smooth. And your done! took about 2 minutes once I got the materials together.
added plus, this is a great thing to with kids (no hot melted wax to pour)

Use It
you can use these as flaoting candles or pretty much whatever (I don;t know how long these will burn, but you can reuse the bottle cap)
