Votive Candle Holder

Materials: 

To make this votive candle holder I used a plastic container, a smaller cup (that fits inside the container), tape, water, coins(as weights), and materials from outside as decorations.

How I made it:

To start, I put water in the plastic container, filling about half of the container. I then cut four pieces of tape and put it on the inside of the smaller cup. I put weights in the cup to hold it down so it wouldn't float in the water, then taped the cup inside the container to make the votive candle shape. I then went outside to find decorations, then put them on the sides of the container.

Then I put this in the freezer, and it took a long time for it to fully freeze. I had to keep it in there overnight. To take the ice out of the plastic container, I poured hot water on the outside of the container. 

I went outside and put a candle inside it, and it worked! Though this would have been better if I had a tealight candle, but I didn't, so the candle kind of sticks out of the holder. 

How My Creation Meets the Criteria:

• it holds a small candle safely
• it is shaped like a cup 
• it is made out of ice
• it has decorative features frozen into the shell
