When its time for romance, it's fun to make decorative items that are out of the ordinary and perhaps even a bit frivolous. Very special, unique and romantic are Flower Ice Candles. Flower and ice creations that hold a votive candle inside!
Although Flower Ice Candles will only last for several hours, they are easy and inexpensive to create. Entice and enhance the mood with sensual Flower Ice Candles.
Materials:
Plastic, glass or metal containers of varying sizes to be used as molds for Floral Ice Candles. There needs to be at least a 1-inch space between the two containers.
Rice
Seasonal berries, flowers and greenery. Try red carnations, roses, lisianthus, freesia, black privet berries, red pepper berries, fragrant pine and eucalyptus.

- Finally, place a glass votive holder and candle inside the Flower Ice Candle. Now the mood is set for romance. - After the mold is frozen and it's just a short time before use, soak the mold in warm water to release the Flower Ice Candle. - Insert greenery, berries and flowers in the water-filled space between the two containers. Now freeze this mold. - Fill the interior container with rice to weight it down but do not allow the interior container to rest on the bottom of the larger outer container. - Fill the space between the two containers half full with water. This becomes the Flower Ice Candle mold.
