DIY Candles with Pretty Layered Crayon colors
- At first, assemble required elements for this item and they are candle wicks, some uncolored and cheap candles, with candle holders, crayon colors as per your choices, a knife, microwave safe cups, and a glove.
- Now, at the initial stage put the candles in the microwave oven at 350 degrees temperature for 20 minutes to melt down your candles. Don’t forget to place them into the microwave safe cup to avoid any kind of accident.
- During this period, take the crayon colors, remove the covers and put them into small containers after cutting them into small pieces.
- After that, take the candles which must have melted completely for the heat. Wear your glove now to protect your hand from the unbearable heat of candles.
- Now, take one pot of melted wax and pour it into one container where you put crayon pieces. Do the same with the other crayon containers as well and mix the liquid wax with the crayon finely.

- Again heat these pots to melt down the materials and tuck those candle wicks into those containers. Place one wick in each pot and place them again over a big candle holder in an awry shape as we did before!
- Now, pour the second color into those holders and don’t forget to place the holders in a reverse way this time!
- After that, straighten all the pots and pour the third or final color into those containers and it’s all ready to use when it dries out properly.
People, who are seeking for straight layers can place their candle pots parallel while pouring liquid waxes into the holders. So, just light them up and get a trendy view to our room instantly!
