How to do it
1 When the paraffin wax has melted, it must be dipped. Note that the melted mass must not be too hot. Otherwise, it won't hang on the stand. The candle wax are mounted on stands, intended for eight candles. Alternatively, for easier handling for children, this can be done one by one.
2 Now dip into the melting pot. Note that the wax must harden between each dip. Continue until the candles or candle is the desired thickness.
TIP If the hand-dipped candles are made with a diameter of 2 cm, they are suitable for the turned wooden candlesticks in our range. These may possibly can be painted in different colours with Plus Color hobby paint.
