Material list

Candles are a great decoration all year round and always make the atmosphere especially cosy. These pretty floating candles don't look only great - they are made in no time at all and are also great as a small present for a birthday or just in between.

For the small floating candles, put some eco-candle wax granulate in a melting pot. Let the wax melt carefully in a water bath. Now add some dye granules and mix everything. Fill the liquid colored wax into the mold and put the cut wicks into the mold shortly after

As a colourful eye-catcher in our example we have painted the edge of the zinc bowl with IncaGold. Let the paint dry well afterwards

Finally, fill the zinc bowl with water and let the finished candles float. Optionally you can spread some petals on the water.

A small gift with a great effect

Tip: The small candles are also ideal as a small gift. Simply wrap Satin ribbon them in a cellophane bag with a pretty one - and you have a great present for your loved ones.
