Candle Making

Ok, so I was looking at some idea for Easter and I came across this adorable and creative way to bring easter eggs to a whole new level!

Ok so what you need:

  • fragrance oil of your scent: I like vanilla
  • candle wicks
  • and of course candle wax (this is all found at hobby lobby or any craft store)
  • egg cup (see picture)
After this it becomes pretty self explanatory.  You die the Easter eggs like you would normally, EXCEPT do not boil the eggs they need to be left raw, so you need to be extra careful when dying them.  Reason is, because you need to pock a whole at the top of the egg using a tip of a pen (no knife it will crack too easily) and dump the egg out of the top it is alright to crack the top off after pocking it, just do it lightly.  Make sure the egg is completely out.  

Once your candle wax is made (to proper size of course) place it in the egg gently with the candle wick in place and you have a beautiful and festive candle!
