Spider Web Candle Recipe

Prepare your round pillar mold. Thread a wick through the hole in the mold and seal the hole. 

Weigh out 45 oz ProBlend 650 Para-Soy Votive Wax and 15-20 drops of the Black Liquid Candle Dye into a pouring pot. Melt to 185°F.

Let cool to around 170°F. Add 3 oz of Crystal Bones Fragrance Oil.

Pour the wax into your mold and allow to set up.  Votive and pillar candles generally require a second pour, which should be approximately 10° hotter than the initial pour to ensure the wax binds together.

Once set up, remove the candle from the mold.         

Painting the Webs: Melt 2 oz. of the candle wax in a clean pouring pot.

Using a paintbrush, dip brush into melted wax and apply to pillar candle. Wax will cool fast, so this must be done quickly.

Using a thin brush, paint four to six lines. Think of it as if you are cutting a pie.  We started with a plus sign and added two additional lines.

Starting near the center, paint small curved lines that connect each spoke, moving outward to create rows of webbing.

Allow the wax to set up.
