Instructions in 4 steps The white taper candles are easy to dip into the coloured wax, resulting in customised Dip-Dye candles that are great as a gift for friends and family.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Dipping vessel, pot, stovetop, knife, scissors, wooden stick

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Fill a narrow, tall vessel to about ¾ with wax pellets for each colour pigment. Then, heat each one in a bain-marie until all the wax pellets have melted. However, make sure the water doesn't boil. Crush the colour pigment with a knife and mix it evenly by stirring with a wooden stick. The more colour pigments are added, the more intense the colour shade.

Step 2

Now take the taper candle, dip it into the dyed, liquid wax and let it dry. By dipping it several times and allowing to dry, the colour shade becomes more intense.

Step 3

As soon as each dipped layer has dried, decorate the candle with one of the motifs from the transfer foil “Frohe Ostern”.

Step 4

Cut a piece of ribbon or cord about 60 cm long and wind it around the candles. The final stage is to attach the small wooden flower to the ribbon or cord.
