Procedure Text in Making Candles

First of all, melt the wax. All wax has a flash point, so to prevent it bursting into flames, you must melt it in a double

boiler, with water in the bottom pan.

Then, prepare the mould with the wick. Thread the wick through the mould and make sure that you leave a good few

centimetres sticking out of the hole in the bottom.

After that, add the scent. If you want a scented candle, add a few drops of essential oil to the melted wax. You can

use any essential oil you like, as long as it doesn't contain water.

Next step, pour the wax into the mould. Try and tip the wax into the mould quickly, all in one go, to minimise spillage

and air bubbles.

Then, release the bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air bubbles will eventually make the candle sink, so you will

need to top it up with more melted wax.

Finally, remove it from the mould. After four or five hours, the candle can be taken out of its mould.

Your candle is now ready for display. Remember, you must always leave it for a day before lighting it.
