Wednesday, November 5th-Colorful Candles

November 5th, 2014

Today's DIY will knock your socks off! These cool candles are amazing! They are great to use as decorations in any room!
 


Take a small amount of wax and put it into a small Dixie cup. Microwave for a minute then stir and pour a thin layer into the bottom of a votive. Place a candle wick in the center and let harden. Peel off the paper on many crayons, you can use an Xacto knife to peel it off. Use one crayon per color. 


Fill the Dixie cups with wax and then top with a broken up crayon. Microwave for two minutes, stir, then microwave for another two minutes. The goal is to create angled layers, so angle the votive and pour the now colored wax into it. Let the first layer dry for 20-30 minutes.


Repeat the last step (where you fill the cups with wax and a crayon, microwave, and pour) twice to create three layers in your candle. 



Have fun experimenting with different colors and layers!
