• Melt the wax till it becomes clear and watery( do not let it smoke)
• Add the desired wax colors.Mix well.
• Dip the wick in the wax . Cool. Thread it through the hole in the mould.Hold it in position .
• Seal the hole through which the wick is threaded with some Mseal or even chappati dough (Seal properly or melted wax will pour out through it)
• Pour the wax into the mould..
• Hold the wick in the center position with the help of a pencil(Tie one end of of the wick to a pencil or stick.When the wax sets,the wick will be in the center)
