Candle "Egg"

At Easter, many families have a tradition of gathering all their relatives together. On this bright holiday, it would be nice to give something symbolic, for example, you can give everyone such an original souvenir - an “Egg” candle.
This is done with ease! See for yourself.

For work we will need:
wax pencils; ordinary household candles; tin; colorless paraffin; form from Kinder Surprise.

You need to calculate that one Easter candle will take half a pencil and one candle. Of course, you can save money on pencils and take smaller ones, but the shade will no longer be so rich.



To begin, melt a household candle along with a grated pencil in a tin can in a water bath. In principle, you can try to melt pencils without first rubbing them on a grater.



The melted mixture of pencil and candle is then poured into the mold. Then we wait until it hardens completely, insert the wick from the candle and glue the two halves together. Of course, first one of them must be heated over the fire.



Finally, to even out the seams, we dip the whole thing in colorless paraffin. The bottom of the finished candle needs to be trimmed down a little so that the candle can stand.



As a result, you can decorate the candle with a ribbon, come up with a stand for it, etc. This is such a cute Easter candle we have!
