Nik N Lip St. Patty's Day Edition

Note: This project took way longer than I thought it would... and it's a little more challenging then I expected... but it was really fun to make.

I changed up the name a little to avoid complications from the company just in case.

I'm sure you've all had those candy wax bottles, they are one of my favorite candies. Here is a step by step tutorial outlining the steps needed to make your very own candy,  wax bottles... adjusted for St. Patty's day of course.

Although I used alcohol you can use any drinks you'd like... try to stay away from fresh juices, and cream based drinks, they can spoil.

I think I spent about $40 on all of the materials, but that doesn't include the alcohol I already had.
