Baby bottle candles
This ideal shower favor combines a cute baby bottle with the soft glow of a candle!

Half the fun of a baby shower is preparing for the event with friends and family. Creating baby bottle candles is an activity you can enjoy together before the shower!
The baby shower favor:
Baby bottle candles are adorable and easy to make. Simply melt parafin wax (or existing candles) in a double broiler. Prepare empty glass baby bottles for each of your guests. You'll also need wicks, which can be bought at any large craft store. Measure the wick about 1/2 taller than the bottle. It can be trimmed after the candle is cooled. Then, melt the desired number of candles in the double broiler. After the wax has melted, carefully pour the wax into the baby bottle with wick in place. Let the candles cool and harden (may take several hours) and trim the wick before burning.
Variations:
Candles can be created in the color scheme of the baby shower. Add extra fun to your candle by mixing tin foil, glitter or other small, non-flammable objects to the wax. Be creative!
Accompanying message or poem:
Let this candle
burn so bright.
I'll soon be with you,
both day and night.

YeahBaby.com thoughts:
Remember to always use a double broiler when melting wax. Never melt wax over an open flame!
