All lit up
Fill small tins with wax to create a row of gorgeous colourful candles.
You will need
✽ Decorative metal tins
✽ Large saucepan
✽ Smaller saucepan or clean, dry, empty tin can
✽ Paraffin candle wax pellets (medium melt point)
✽ Preserving thermometer (optional)
✽ Candlewick with metal tab base
✽ Long-handled metal spoon
✽ Small glass jug
✽ Metal skewers
1 Make sure that the decorative tin is clean and dry. Make a double boiler by filling half of a large saucepan with water and placing a smaller saucepan or an empty food tin can inside. No water should be in the smaller pot.
2 Empty some wax pellets into the top of the double boiler (the smaller pan) and set the heat on high. Stir the wax frequently as it heats. You can use a preserving thermometer to monitor the temperature of the wax; the melting point for paraffin wax is around 53-54C.
3 Position a wick in the base of each decorative tin, then, using a jug, pour in the hot liquid wax. Fill to the brim, then secure the wick in the centre by placing a skewer on either side of it, resting on top of the tin. Before the wax sets completely, pierce any bubbles that appear and top up with. more wax.
