Mother Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Thanks, Euphrasyne. I have made candle wicks in the past with these methods as well as using a borax solution. I’ve also used wood shavings or splinters and various other ‘burnables’. Strips of cardboard, thin strips of paper tightly rolled and twisted, cotton balls pulled and twisted into wick shapes all work but are better if soaked first in wax or oil. 1 Quote Link to comment
