Brook rocks or rocks from around a lake are simple to drill and to do your candle. Other rocks that you might find while camping or hiking would work also , again because they are easy to drill. Save granite marble or other extremely hard rocks until you are more experienced in making stone and rock candles. You will need a further type of bit for your drill for the harder stone.
So now you have the first part of the project <b>your rock</b>. Then you have got your drill and the correct bit to use. Next you want a good place to work with proper ventilation and a smooth surface.
The first step you will need to do is decide where the candle holes should go. How many flames look best and if you need a random arrangement or a rather more structured or even more symmetrical design. Mark the location of the holes with a permanent marker or scratch tool.
Have a spray bottle with cool water so that you can use it as necessary to cool your rock and your bit while you are drilling. Begin drilling at slower speed, because if the bit is moving too swiftly thru the rock on occasion it can cause 1 or 2 layers of rock around the hole to break off. This is generally no problem since the oil reservoir or vessel will cover the larger hole when it is glued on but it is best this does not occur.
For the oil reservoir on the beneath side of your candle, clear glass votive cups will work best. The best oil vessel reservoir is one that does not take away from the rocks beauty by being too apparent.
To enjoy your <a href="http://wicksforoilcandles.com">stone decorative</a> candle, take a little funnel, fill your refillable oil reservoir with lamp oil such as paraffin oil or other lamp oil that does not give off any smoke when when the wicks are burning.
