1/2 gallon waxed milk carton
1 1/2 lbs. paraffin
3 trays ice cubes
1 red candle

Cut the top from the carton and rinse out well. Crack the ice cubes into large or medium pieces, drain off any water and return to the freezer. Melt the wax in double boiler. When all the wax is hot, center the candle in the carton and surround loosely with cracked ice. Quickly pour all the hot wax over the ice. Cool for half an hour and cut back carton. Decorate with holly, ribbon, etc.
