That's the kind I have, too - the problem is, we're not sure if the plastic is meant to withstand temperatures as high as the candy has to get up to. (200+)
That's why we were thinking the silicone ($5 in my links above) were a better idea than the pricey maple sugar candy molds (which are typically $20).

thanks for bumping this. Some good ideas - my problem with being too crafty right now is working 40hours/week lol, but maybe some great ideas on this thread.

We really don't get out much. Welcome to my world.
I haven't read all the replies, but I know a year or two ago you posted a similar thread where you had made votive (?) candle holders out of a 4x4. I thought that was a super idea and plan to make some this year for my dad.
I have been having contractions on and off for the last day and a half so hopefully she will be rearing her lovely little head soon enough. I have been dealing with some extremely serious extended family issues so I think she is waiting for things to calm down before she comes out to greet us.
OMG!!! I didn't *even* look at the date of this thread & I was like "what?huh?bobbi jo is expecting and almost due????? when did this happen? LOL, and there's the little lady herself in bobbi jo's sig pic.....
I found the coolest cedar 4X4 yesterday... it was pricy, but my dad picked it up for me because he wants some of what I am making with them.
I am making cedar candle holders. If you take a 4X4 and cut it to 4", 7", and 9" and then drill and 1 1/2" circle in the top 1" deep, you have the perfect tea light candle holder. Find a pretty peice of cedar and seal it (my spelling is in the trash today... please don't let me know how bad it is... after my coffee I will be embarassed anyhow...) with bees wax or linseed oil (when I asked dad if that was safe he said "Well honey if you are looking for 'Safe = Not Famable' I suggest not using wood." lol...) and then put a few colored tea lights in a homemade fabric bag and you have a cool gift!
This may be hard to see in your minds eye... so I will post pictures when I have one set done... Hopefully soon... Christy and I are getting together today to get the other stuff for the rest of our projects. She had some awsome ideas to add to the magnet boards... I need to get her to post them.
Love Val
I'm having this biggest laugh at this thread....This would be the 4x4 candles I reference above....heck, this thread is from '04, I think I will go lie down now...

I just totally laughed out loud at that. Sounds just like my dad... still!
By the way Barb, I would look for cedar 3x3s instead of 4x4s if you can find them. You still have some time and the tea lights look much better in the smaller wood blocks than the larger.
