STEP 1
Experiment with the
flowers to get an idea
of how you are going to place them on the candle. Once you
start, you will need to work quickly, so be ready.
|
|
STEP 2
Melt paraffin wax in the foil
pan in an electric
skillet or pan filled with 1" of water on the stove. Keep
the wax in the water bath to keep it liquid.
|
 |
STEP 3
With the paint brush, paint
a little wax on the candle where you wish to place the first
flower.
|
 |
STEP 4
Gently press the flower
on the wax. Repeat with the remaining blossoms and/or leaves.
|
 |
STEP 5
When you are satisfied with the
placement, hold the
candle at each end and dip the side of candle in the wax. Use
a smooth motion when dipping, and do not hesitate during the
dip. Lift the candle out of the wax. Make sure the blossoms
are completely covered and there are no air bubbles. If not,
dip again.
|
|
STEP 6
Let the wax shell cool
and harden over the blossoms. (It will look cloudy when it
first comes out but will dry clear.)
|
|
STEP 7
Buff the finished candle
with a piece of soft nylon stocking for a shiny finish.
