The Simcha Spot hut makes the perfect atmosphere for candle-making. The tables and chairs drip with warm colorful wax. Chunks of wax sit in a container, and campers can form them into any shape, like a flower, butterfly, heart, or duck. They can add any scent and color and put a wick in the middle and they have their candle. Some campers choose to put the small candles on a string and wear it as a necklace. For campers who want bigger candles, they can take a mold in a variety of shapes, like cylinders, stars, and rectangles. They dip the mold into any color wax they like, and even a few colors to create a multi-layered look. As an extra design, they can use the carving tool to carve out a strip of the wax while its still warm. They twist the piece and then push it back onto the candle. They can also make other decorations on the mold. The candle is then glazed to make it smooth and shiny, and then it dries. The candles are remarkable, creative, and beautiful. Some campers who just want to have fun are sticking their hands into the molten wax and making wax molds of their fists!
