💡 Tip: Never melt directly on the stove plate – always use a water bath! ### Step 2 – Adding color As soon as the wax is liquid, add a **wax crayon or wax color** and stir well. Start with a little color – you can always add more. Pastel tones are created with less color, brighter tones with more. ### Step 3 – Preparing the mold Fasten the **wick** with a wooden skewer over the center of the mold. Seal the bottom of the mold with **modeling clay** so that no wax leaks out. ### Step 4 – Casting Pour the liquid wax slowly and evenly into the mold. Let it harden at room temperature – this takes 2–4 hours, depending on the size. > 💡 Tip: After the first hardening, a dent often forms at the top. Simply pour a little more wax on top! ### Step 5 – Unmolding & finishing As soon as the candle has completely cooled, remove the mold carefully. Trim the wick to approx. 1 cm – done! 🕯️ --- ## Method 2: Decorating candles with decorating wax sheets This method is particularly simple and ideal for children from 6 years – **no melting required!** 1. **Decorating wax sheet** warmed to room temperature (take it into your hands for a short while) 2.
