Making Ice Candles

We made ice candles yesterday. We made them for advent. First we cut the top off dairy free milk bottles. Then we slathered the sides with oil so that it wouldn't stick. Then we put long candle sticks in it and filled the rest with ice. After that we poured melted wax in it and let it sit. Today we went back and had a look at them and peeled the milk bottles of them. They were hard, just like candles!
