Candle Painting Recipe

Create your own custom painted candles using paint brushes and wax.

Level: Intermediate

Yield: 3 Candles

Supplies:

Directions:

Step 1: Prepare your round pillar mold. Thread a wick through the hole in the mold and seal the hole. Use a wick sticker to adhere a wick to each tea light.

Step 2: Weigh out 51.2 oz ProBlend 650 Para-Soy Votive Wax into a pouring pot. Melt and let cool to around 185F-200F. Add 1.5 oz of fragrance.

Step 3: Pour wax into pillar mold.

Step 4: Using the remaining wax, fill tea lights and add color as desired.

Step 5: Allow pillar candle to set before removing from mold. Allow tea lights to set.                                                        

Painting:

Step 1: Light tea lights and allow them to burn for a few minutes.

Step 2: Using a paintbrush, dip brush into melted wax and apply to pillar candle. Wax will cool almost immediately, so this must be done quickly.

Step 3: Create designs as desired, and allow to set. Clean up edges of design as needed after it has set.
