Another way in which to enhance ready made candles. Although very intricate this project is not difficult and is a wonderful way of personalizing candles for wedding/birthdays etc.

You will need :-

3 small baking trays
175gm of pale pink paraffin wax mixed with 38gms of microcrystalline soft wax
The same quantities of a pale green wax and of clear un dyed wax - both mixed with 38gms of microcrystalline soft
Just 25gms of pale yellow wax
Wax glue which you will find here
a candle to decorate - the one we used here was 70mm in diameter by 120 high.
The cutters used here are from a cake decoration set - as is the cake decoration tool used to shape the petals.
NB. If you want to make candles for a wedding or event why not go to our
Bulk Discount section where you can pillar candles and really keen prices!

Prepare the pink wax as above. Melt it to 80c (180f) and then ladle it into a small baking tray which you have previously smeared with washing up liquid prevent the wax sticking, to a depth of 3mm. When the wax is almost set but still warm and the consistency of plasticine take a flower shaped cutter and cut out 6 flower shapes.
