These beautiful bubble candles make wonderful gifts, for example as a wedding present. Thanks to the choice of colors, the candles can be perfectly adapted to locations or color concepts. A personal detail at your wedding that will enchant your guests.

Amount of wax for candle mold Bubble Large: approx. 240 g
Amount of wax for small bubble candle mold: approx. 50 g

Important: The wax must not be heated above 60 - 70 °C, otherwise it will decompose and the candle will be uneven or even crumble when it is removed from the mold!

First pierce the middle of the mold with a pointed object such as a awl and pull the wick through this hole. If you like, you can already shorten the wick at both ends. The next step is to melt the wax. It is best to use a thermometer, as the wax must never be heated above 70 °C! Now pour the wax into the mold if you don't want to color it.
For the colored version, add the wax coloring granules as desired. Once the wax has melted and been colored, pour it into the molds. Make sure that the wick is in the middle. You can use a bamboo skewer to help you, for example, by placing it on the casting mold so that the wick remains in the middle.
After Time to dry: the finished candles can be removed from the mold. If you have not yet shortened the wicks, you can do so now.

You will need the leather paper for the tags. Label the ribbon with the names and cut them out. Punch a hole in the top left corner to hang them on the satin ribbon later.

In the next step, place the finished small bubble candles on a card. To prevent them from slipping, they can be fixed to the card with pattafix. Then cut the tulle ribbon to size. Adjust the width of the tulle ribbon to the card. Two strips are needed per giveaway. Lay them crosswise and place the card with the candle in the middle. Tie the tulle ends together with a piece of satin ribbon . Pull one end of the satin ribbon through the tag and tie a bow.

For the table decoration, combine the large and small bubble candle. Arrange them on a wooden disk and decorate a little with eucalyptus twigs.
