THINGS YOU NEED TO READ

- let it cool down with the room temperature slowly. DO NOT put them in a cold place all of a sudden. It will take about an hour to 24 hours for it to become solid.
-If you want to add colors into the candle then it is the best to put it after wax melts. You'll only need a little of coloring and add them slowly so that you'll get the color that you want. When mixing the color, STIR THEM SLOWLY so that there would be less amount of bubbles. -If you stir too much, then there's higher chance of it getting more bubbles. When stirring, stir them slowly so that it won't get the air inside. POUR THE WAX SLOWLY AND STIR THEM QUIETLY.

- Glass or non-flammable container

- gel wax

- Stainless steel pot

- Fragrant essential oil

- Zinc wick

- disposable chopsticks

-shell, dry flower (make sure they are strong with fire)

Inside the container, put any decoration you like (such as shells, dry flower etc)

Put the candle core in the middle of the container. Pinch the candle core with the chopsticks (don't break them), so that the candle core will stay fitted.

Put the wax into the pot which contains hot water. Wait until the liquid inside gets smooth, without any blocks.

Pour the wax inside the container slowly. When finished, wait until it cools down.

When it cools down, cut the core into about the right length. Don't make them too short or keep it so long.
