Box

Wick/string

Pencils

1. Melt the wax in the kettle slowly over heat (stove or gas)

2. Place your sand into the box and dampen the sand

3.  Gently press your molds/make indentations into the moist sand in the bowl.  If you're having trouble pushing the molds all the way in the sand then make the sand a little looser with your hands and try again.

4. Use a stick, which is a little thicker then the wick you intend to use, to make a hole in the sand where the wick will go.  Cut off a piece of wick (make sure it's not too short!, and stick it in the hole you just made, use a little bit of sand to close the hole up, if you use to much it will be visible when the candle is done.

5. Let wax cool off a little bit; if it's to hot when you pour it, a lot of sand will stick to your candle and you won't be able to recongnize the shape of the mold. Put a stick on top of your bowl and hang the wicks over it to make sure that they will stay in place. Then slowly pour the wax into the mold, make sure that you fill up the entire mold.

6. You can add in decorations on the side of the indentation before pouring in the wax.

7. When the wax has dried completely, gently take out the candles, brush off some of the sand... and you're all done!
