Step #1: Melting the Wax
Place about the candle wax flakes in a microwavable dish. I used a Pyrex measuring cup so that I could pour the wax into the shells once it melted.
Step #1: Melting the Wax
Microwave the flakes until the soy wax is completely melted and in liquid form.
Step #2: Add the Candle Fragrance
With a fork, mix in your choice of candle fragrance to the melted wax. I had peach fragrance on hand so that’s the scent I used.
Step #3: Place the Candle Wicks in the Shells
With a hot glue gun, place a dollop of hot glue on the metal bottom of the candle wick. Attach that to the deepest part of the inside of the seashell.
Step #3: Place the Candle Wicks in the Shells
Once the all the wicks have been added, you can begin pouring the candle wax into the shells.
Step #4: Pouring the Wax Into the Shells
Very carefully pour the cooled candle wax into each seashell. Fill them up to the brim, leaving just a little space at the top to prevent overflowing.
Step #5: Allow the Candles to Set
Allow the candles to cool and set completely. Depending on the size of your candles, this process may take a few hours.
Step #6: Trim the Wicks
After the wax has solidified, trim the wick to about a quarter-inch above the wax’s surface.
I believe that if you fill your home with things you love, love will fill your home.
