Top Tip
Place the wax in the fridge to cool before attempting to slice it into sections as this creates a cleaner edge and stops the candles becoming misshapen.
How to Make
- Take half a block of dark blue wax and mould around in your hands until soft. Roll into a sausage shape about 2cm in diameter and 7cm long.
- Take equal parts of white and light blue wax (about ¼ of a block each) and mould until soft. Mix together to make a marbled effect by rolling into sausages, twisting together and repeating.
- Roll the marbled wax into a flat sheet using a plastic rolling pin (do this on baking parchment so that it doesn't stick).
- Place the dark blue wax on the end and roll the marbled piece around the outside. Pop in the fridge for 10 minutes to cool before slicing with a sharp knife.
- Cut the roll into 3 equal slices using a sharp knife. Use your fingers to smooth any edges.
- Press the flower stamp firmly into the centre of the candle. Use a cocktail stick to form a hole in the centre for the wick. Feed the wick through, using fingers to gently smooth any gaps around the top and bottom of the wick.
