Candle "egg with yolk"

For these candles we need the following materials: paraffin, wick, white and yellow colors, shape candle "egg", 2 pots (one larger and one smaller) or pan + bank.

Step 1. Melting the candle mass. Paraffin should melt in a water bath on low heat so that it does not overheat. Water should not boil. You can use a thermometer. The temperature of the wax should be about 75 degrees. To make pure paraffin candles, you can add 10-20% of stearin. Stearin gives the hardness to candle. It will not be afraid of heat and deform ( this is especially true for thin candles), as well as it less "crying" when burning. If you use paraffin glassware, be careful about bursting. Place a towel under the bank, and place it in a pan before, when the water is cold, so that the bank be heated gradually.

Step 2. Prepare the form while paraffin melts. To remove the ready candle easily, the form must be lubricated with oil or You are to place it to freezer for at about 20 minutes. Set the wick in the form. It is important to choose the right wick. If the candle flames and smokes too much, so the wick is too thick and did not have time to burn through, and if the candle "is choking" in paraffin, gradually fades, so the wick is too thin.

Step 3. Add the dyes and fragrances. When the paraffin is almost melted, it's time to add the dye. If you use our dyes, it is enough only 2-3 grams per 1 kg of paraffin. In case of decoupage, the candle may not be colored. I will add in mine pastel - yellow color, it will give creamy shade to my candle. Up on Your wish, you can give different scents to your candle. For that add a few drops of essential oil or flavoring in melted paraffin.

Step 4. Filling the "protein": white painted candle mass fill in our form. Give it a little be cooled.

Step 5. Парафин застывает по краям, через минут 15 незастывший парафин сливаем назад.Filling the "yolk": painted yellow candle mass fill in our form. Now you have to be patient and wait until the candle will harden. Do not hurry and do not cool it in refrigerator , it can lead to the formation of cavities within the candle. Wait pour candles at room temperature.

Шаг 6. We took out a candle from the mold. If you do not greased mold before pouring paraffin oil, then you may have difficulty removing it from the mold. Put a candle for 20 minutes in the freezer and candle easily "jump" out of shape.

Step 7. If desired, dip the egg in our colored paraffin. Obtain multicolored Krashenki. You can paint them with markers for candles. These are the eggs I got! These candles are especially interesting with the combustion.
