Once it is completely cooled you can remove the plastic. Removing the plastic is quite simple. Make a cut down the side of the shell, and then around the base of the plastic. Try not to cut into the candle, though it may be difficult not to. Once you've done that you can peel the plastic off. If you want to, you can just leave it as is, but the wax won't be very shiny or anything. Probably partially because of the crayons, and partially because of whatever dirt may have still been in the shell. If you don't like how it is, just dip it in some more wax.

You can see where I accidentally cut into the wax on the first picture :P

I love to sew, as I'm sure you can see from my ibles ;) I also love lawn flamingos, going to the beach, dinosaurs, and doing random stuff.
