I made one, the wax cools and the wick secures faster if you hold the candle while it is in a bowl of water.That way it floats and cools down so you only hold it for like 30seconds

Just a few grammar corrections for you:

For "The paraffin should become fuse with water heat"
You're looking for: "The paraffin should melt from the water's heat"
fuse means to join two things together, while melt means to turn something from a solid into a liquid.

For "hold it with your hand until become fixed"
You want: "hold it with your hand until the paraffin solidifies"
fix means to repair something or to attach something in a way that it cannot move, solidify is the opposite of melt.

Good 'ible though, keep up the good work!

Actually the use of "fixed" was correct. Fix is an abreviation of Affix, which means 'fasten; cause to be firmly attached; set or place definitely; stable or stationary; put something somewhere firmly'. You can have "a fixed moment in time" which refers to a specific moment in time not a repaired or corrected moment in time. My English education teacher always drilled the proper use of this word into our heads. You correct a problem because if you fix it you make it permanent. If you are holding the wick in the wax until it is permanently attached then it is fixed in the wax.

You can also clean out a big can, such as soup, and put that in the water to hold the wax.

Yeah!

They look beautiful, I like your drawing too!

(ps: flouting means to show contempt or scorn, I think the word you want is floating -borne up by or suspended in a liquid).
