Wanting to condense my fanny-pack sized kit a bit I was looking for another way to have a candle that wasn't as bulky as what I had in there.
This:
I didn't really want a tea candle that could melt all over everything and I wanted something that lasted longer then a birthday candle. So, I took my big candle and a small generic altoids type candy container.
This:
I took the wick out of the big candle and placed it in the little metal container, then I melted wax on/around it until it came up to the holes in the container (cut out for the hinge). I then tilted the container away from the holes so I could get as much wax in as possible. Now it looks like this:

I am going to seal it with some tape to stop the smell and any melted wax from comming out (it worked on the big candle). I don't know exactly how it will burn, but it should work just as good as the candle I got in there and it is a lot better option then a tea candle. Plus the cover can be used as a handle or to help shield the flame from the wind. Polished up it acts as a reflector for the light. All in all I thought it was a good idea that someone here might like to try. I was trying to think of things wrong with it or things I could improve and my only real big idea was to use a magic relighting candle wick instead of the regular candle wick, it might fare a little better in wind. I hope you guys like that, if you try it let me know how it turns out. <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
