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.

If using glow-in-the-dark pigment, you will mix that into your wax later.

Step 7

Your candle will take at least 30 minutes 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

Mix Your Glow-in-the-dark Pigment

If not using, skip to next step. Mix the glow-in-the-dark pigment into a small amount of melted wax and pour into your vessel. With the top layer of wax not set, you can choose to add your wax elements on top at this time.

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.

Securing Your Decorations
