How to make Easter candlesWe will need:

We take an egg, carefully make a small hole, turn over and make the second one.
Slightly shaking, pour the contents, rinse the shell and dry it. This will be our form for the candle, although one-time. While our mold will dry, soil and stain wax.
From the used wax candle, we remove the middle, remove the burnt wick and insert a new one.
You can also cut the edge of the mold, pierce the selection and fasten the wick. If there is no such mold, just fix a piece of plasticine.
We skip through the shell of wick.
On the other hand, with the help of Kretchi, the wick and we rush the hole.
Ice ice and fill it a stand for the shape, I took a glass. When we fill the wax, from the high temperature of the tape can move away, and the wax will follow, and the ice will not give it to him.
Install in ice form.
From the top with the help of a toothpick fix the wick, gently pour the wax and wait until it freezes. To speed up the process, I put it for a few minutes in the freezer.
As the smells are frozen, it will form to form a wax in it as needed. As soon as the wax is cooled, but not frozen, we remove the tape, carefully with a knife with a knife, cut a little wax for stability from below, just cut a little bit from above.
That's what we did.
