Yes, now that you mention it, I do remember making those. We used crayons for color too. I never, ever would have thought about it though without you reminding me. Thanks for the memory!

Thanks so much for the memories as I hadn't thought about those candles in A LOT of years. I think we made them in Brownies or Girl Scouts.

I've done many types of crafts but not the Milk Carton Candles....but I do remember friends/family making them....

Our family had one but I don't know where it was purchased - I know my Mom didn't make it. Pretty!

For a while my mother was into making candles using old Hi-C cans. Ugliest candles you've ever seen.....

@PA Mom-mom What a pleasant memory. Yes, I remember making them in school (art class? home ec?) And one year with little ones. Fun. Might do it this year at Christmas, thanks to this thread.
eta...but I don’t remember ice.

@esmerelda It was an evolutionary process. First, we just quart milk cartons. Then we read that you could add chunks of ice to the carton to make a lacy effect. That worked pretty well Then came the whipped wax. We were not very good at that. I remember laughing until we cried!

@PA Mom-mom I remember the whipped wax...sprinkled with glitter. But I missed the ice stage Maybe it was regional. I did it in Maryland.
