Bring color into your home: instructions for pouring colored cone candles

Step-by-step instructions for casting colored cone candles

Melting wax

Start by melting about 120g of composition wax at a low temperature in a melting ladle or universal melting pot. Make sure that the wax does not overheat to ensure the desired quality of the candles.

Add color and fragrance

Depending on how intense you want the color of your candles to be, add wax coloring granules. For a subtle scent, you can also add candle fragrances to stimulate your senses.

Prepare the wick

Pull the wick through a needle and push it through the bottom of the silicone mould. To pull out the needle, use jewelry pliers as an aid.

Fix the wick

Pull the upper end of the wick into a metal wick holder. This holder ensures that the wick does not slip when pouring and remains straight.

Pour the wax and leave to dry

Now slowly pour the melted, colored and possibly scented wax into the mold. Make sure that the wick holder does not slip. Leave the candle to dry for around 3 hours before carefully removing the colored cone from the mould.

Arranging the decoration

Place the "Winter" twig garland on a bark board and trim it as desired with scissors. Place your colored cone candles between the garland and sprinkle a few jingles on top to create a festive decoration.

Safety advice

Please remember never to leave candles burning unattended!
