Hello, community! Greetings! This is my entry for this month's contest, the four elements. I am presenting fire. The candle-making craft. You must have seen wax candles but this is different than those.

Oil lamps and candles are among the most useful forms of fire we encounter in our daily lives. Nowadays, electricity helps to make our lives easier, but we still rely on fire for cooking and lighting during dark nights. One particularly beneficial creation is the water candle, which burns calmly and pleasantly and can last a long time. If you add a few drops of essential oil/aroma oil or a small piece of Camphor in the water, it becomes an air freshener as well.
now how to make a plain candle for everyday use

.
material
glass 3/4 full of water
1 tbsp oil
plastic cut in a round/circle
cotton macrame for making wick

Pour cold water into a glass.

Pour the oil. It will float on the top of the water.

cut plastic and make a hole in the center using a needle.

Put a wick in the needle eye and insert it through the hole.

The wick mounting like this.
