  5. METHODOLOGY

    For an odor-free candle, use olive oil.

    Cooking oil makes an inexpensive burning medium for homemade candles. Making candles with used cooking oil is a useful way to get rid of old oil. Unlike traditional, wax-based candles, the wick of an oil candle does not burn up during use. Instead, the wick absorbs the cooking oil, and only the oil is burned by the flame.

    Instructions

    Things you’ll need:

    • Malleable wire

    • Cotton string

    • Matchstick or nail

    • Glass container

    • Cooking oil

    • Match or lighter



    1. Assemble the wick support. Use a fine, malleable wire, such as copper wire, and wrap it around a matchstick or nail four to six times. Wrap the wire loosely so the match or nail can slide out after wrapping is complete.


    2. Slide out the match or nail from the wire coil. Insert an all-cotton string into the wire coil to act as a wick. Butchers' twine works well for this. Cut the string to a length that protrudes 1/4 inch past the end of the coil.


    3. Set the wire coil and wick into the middle of a glass container.


    4. Pour the cooking oil into the glass container to a height lower than the height of the wick. If the cooking oil is used, strain it first to remove any food debris.


    5. Allow the candle to rest and the wick to soak up the oil before lighting. Once the wick is saturated with the oil, it is ready to be lit. Light the candle with a match or lighter.

  13. introMake an oil-burning candle
    I had extra cooking oil that was used to fry tortillas for enchiladas. I couldn't just let it go to waste, so I made this support for holding a cotton wick.

    This can be used to make any oil holder into a nice candle. If you are careful with the oil level, the wick will be consumed very slowly
    step 1Assemble Parts
    Use an all-cotton string for the candle wick. Synthetic fibers will not burn cleanly. I am using a kitchen string that is used to truss poultry and tie up roasts.

    Any kind of wire can be used for the wick support, but I had a spool of copper wire on hand. A large paperclip may also work.
    step 2Begin winding wire
    Loosely wind the wire around the matchstick.
    step 3Complete the wick holder
    The coil should be made loose enough to slip off the matchstick. I use a fingernail to separate the turns of the wire slightly.

    If the wire is packed closely, it will wick enough oil to burn along the entire copper sleeve.
    step 4This is the finished wick holder
    Adjust the spiral base to place the coil in the center, slightly suspended
    step 5Cut the wick
    The length is not really important. Just so it is longer than the wire coil
    step 6Fill a container with oil
    Adjust the wick so only an eighth of an inch projects past the copper coil.
    step 7Now use your match
    The oil may be a little difficult to light, compared to a wax candle.
    step 8Using a candlestick to hold oil
    step 9The wick is not consumed
    Unlike a wax candle, the wick of this oil candle is supplied with fuel as the oil level goes down. The flame remains constant until the last of the oil is burned.
