This here post is about candles. The clever folks at filt-made.com have begun a very innovative new business: candles made from old cooking oil! The oil is filtered to remove any odours, vanilla scent is added and the mixture is poured into recycled glass jars. The website is mostly in Japanese though I scooped up some lovely pics of said fantabulous rainbow-coloured recycled candles from it.
Pretty, aren’t they? And I so heart the tagline, “Wanna make a small waves.”
After YouTube-ing “Amateur candlemaking”, I stumbled on two Australian kids, Taylor and Hunter Reilly, who, with the help of their old man, have started kidscandlecompany.com – their very own business of making and selling beeswax candles. The boys currently sell their candles online and have made the very generous decision to donate 25% of profits to charity Kiva.org. Another 25% will go back into the business and they’ll split the remaining 50% among themselves.
Here’s a vid of their very first candlemaking attempt. Prepare to smile.
Love & recycled light,
Apes
