Blindfold perhaps a half dozen volunteers and make her do a blind taste test (provide something to clean the palate between sips). The volunteers should guess which wine is the pinot black, which is the Cabernet, and so on. A bottle of wine is the obvious prize for the winner of this game.

If you want to create a romantic atmosphere from time to time at home, or if you like the smell of scented candles has some and you cannot always afford to buy them, you have to know that you can make them yourself, with the help of some advice.

The candles are made from old sails burned or new, bought in one pound packs, they are much cheaper that way. The new sails are not made of wax as it is expensive and leaves yellow candles with a hot dark curtain. However, without any burns better? No smoke.

The candles are melted in a container full of water. They will never be placed directly on the fire, because it’s dangerous.

At the same time we must prepare the forms taken candles. We can make them ourselves or we can use the boxes and glasses of paper (like the ones from fast-foods that go with refreshments). We turn the form upside down © s, we make a small hole that is used to store the candle lid separated from the rest of it.

The straw will keep the candle burning can take an old candle can be made out of white cotton straw. We turn the form upside down © s, and with a stick, a pen or pencil to place it introduce the straw right through the center. More precisely, wrap the straw around a stick that is fixed by sharp form.

To color the wax using the powder dye colors or oil that dissolves in the melting wax.

If we want a candle with horizontal lines, each line will dump both in different colors, each time waiting for them to cool so that the colors do not mix.

After they are completely cold we can remove them from their ways. If we cannot do this, place them in the refrigerator and wait an hour or so, and took off after that.
