Put your designs down in a comfortable place to work. Tape in place. Cut a piece of parchment paper to cover your paper and tape it down, too.

Be sure your bottles are clean and DRY. Cut a smaller piece of parchment (8x8" or so) and put it on a plate. Put around 15-20 wafers (of one color) on the parchment, microwave according to package directions. Mine said to use 50% power for 30 seconds, stir, repeat. They won't change shape if you don't stir them. I found that it took between 1 and 2 minutes to melt them.

Your candy will be warm - as warm as hot wax - so be careful. Do this part for kids if you have help. When the candy is melted turn the parchment into a funnel and pour the candy in. Close the bottle and you're ready to go.
