Collect bits and pieces from old candles or buy new candles of wax for this fun project.
• Put the wax in a microwave-proof bowl. Microwave the wax in 30-second to 1-minute intervals, gently swirling the wax in between heating. Use a pot holder to handle the bowl.
• In the meantime, prop the shells up/steady them. I use rice on a plate to support them so they don’t tip over.
• Since the bottom of the shell is curved, you might need to bend the wick at an angle when you place it in the shell.
• Dip the bottom of the wick in the hot wax to anchor it in place and place on the shell. Then pour the wax into the shell.
• Let them sit and harden. Clean off/scrape away any wax that might have run onto the outside of the shell.
