Get Your Wax
Step 5
All mixing of candle wax will be done in your white cup. If you choose to color your wax, now is the time. After you are happy with your color, add your scent. Give your wax a good stir to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
Mix Your Wax
Step 6
Pour wax into your vessel, slowly, to avoid and splashing and spilling.
Pour Your Wax
Step 7
Your candle will take about and hour to set (more or less depending on the atmospheric temperature) you can take this time to get another beverage!
Let Your Candle Set
Step 8
Plan how you want your crystal to be set in your candle. If you want it partly submerged, keep an eye on your setting wax and insert when the wax is firm enough to support your crystal but still soft enough that your crystal can be inserted. If you simply want the crystal to sit on top, your candle can be close to fully set.
NOTE: When placing your crystal in your candle, be sure it will not directly be touching the flame.
Plan Your Decorations
Step 9

Grab a buddy to help you!
The Instructor can also help you.
Depending on atmospheric temperature, this process may need to move very quickly.
1st person: Use the heat gun to melt the top layer of wax (may need to melt more if you need to submerge your crystal). Keep the gun perpendicular to avoid splashing.
2nd person: Once enough wax is melted, QUICKLY place everything in desired position on top.
If using glitter, that will need to be applied last.
Step 10
Use the black snipping tool to cut the wick to about 1/4” and you’re done!
