I had this idea when I had some extra candles laying around and wanted to make some cute candles!
First, what you need is:
Two eggs
A knife
An old empty coffee tin
Two bowls
And two small candles
First thing you need to do is cut the eggs in half ( yes, in half! It only works if you use a steak knife though,), and put the contents of the eggs in one of the bowls and set aside. In another bowl, put the egg shells and then soak them in hot water for a while and let dry.
Next, take the wicks out of the candles, and set the wicks aside while you put the candles in the coffee tin and put the tin on the stove on low until melted.
While the candles are melting, towel-dry the eggshells to make sure that they are dry, and cut the two wicks each in half to make four ( if they are the right size),
Then, pour the melted wax in the four eggshells and once the wax is cooled a bit, put the wicks in. You could also submerge some small flowers in the melted wax for a beautiful effect.
You can write with permanent marker on the outside of the shells! Enjoy your candles!
