11. Geometric Concrete Vessel Pearl Wax Candle
Combining the raw industrial feel of poured concrete with the delicate, refined texture of white pearl wax, this design is the epitome of modern wabi-sabi style.
- Introduction: The juxtaposition of heavy, matte grey concrete and tiny, shimmering white wax beads creates an arresting modern art piece for minimalist homes.
- Ingredients Needed: White pearl wax beads, a handmade hexagonal concrete vessel, a pre-tabbed wooden wick (for a cozy crackling sound), and a wooden wick clip.
- How to Make It: Seal the interior of your handmade concrete vessel with a non-toxic sealer to ensure it is dust-free. Secure your pre-tabbed wooden wick in the exact center of the hexagon using a wick clip. Pour the pure white pearl wax beads into the concrete container, tapping the heavy vessel gently on your work surface to settle the granules snugly around the wooden wick. Trim the wooden wick to 1/8 inch before lighting for a clean, gentle crackle.
