Step 6And you're done!
Enjoy your new candle :D
I really recommend that you put something under it to catch the wax if/when you burn it, because there's really nothing to keep it from making a mess.
Hmmm... Redneck wedding decorations anyone?
Also, just a couple of tips:
If you use crayons to color it, use Crayola ones, because Roseart ones are kind of weird.
You should put the wick in THEN pour the wax if possible, to avoid any air pockets that may be created when inserting the wick, which is what happened to me :P
After you remove the plastic casing of the shell, there will be plastic at the bottom still. You may want to dip the candle in wax again to cover it up a bit. Don't let that plastic burn, by the way, because these candles burn down pretty fast.

If you put a candle in the freezer for about 1 hour PRIOR TO burning it, the candle will drip less & last longer.
I know that may be impossible with larger candles, but with this size of candle, it should not be a problem.

Maybe a "plate" that looks like a shotgun shell box to hold the candle(s) AND keep the wax from making a mess on your table or whatever...
#3)
Candle wicks are usually fairly cheap at a craft store, where you can also purchase coloring for candles as well as Crayola Crayons....
Might I suggest having a wick that runs the length of the candle? That way you never have any candle left over without a wick(unless you want candle left overs). not trying to tell you what to do, just offering ideas.
IF, if you buy the wax instead of recycling old candles, there is an additive that you can add to the wax to make them drip less...then there is also a special bulk wax that you can buy that will drip less...
do not ask me how it works, I have no idea HOW it works, I just know that it does.
I like this Ible...4 stars. :)
