Directions:
1. First you will need to prepare chunks. You can use leftover
chunks from other candle projects. Or you make new ones by
melting wax, adding color and allowing to set in a shallow pan.
You can use either single-colored or multi-colored chunks.
2. Prepare the mold by spraying oil and wicking it. Then fill
the mold with chunks.
3. Melt (un-dyed) wax and add to the mold. Allow to set
completely.
4. When completely set, remove from mold.
Note: You can make different types of candles by altering the
number of colors and chunks used. You can choose all your chunks
to be of the same color or different colors. The color of the
'filler wax' can also be white or any other color that you choose
to have.
You can also cut out all your chunks in similar shapes or keep
mismatched ones.
