Don’t they look nice? The self-colored candles are an absolute hit and are still soooo easy.

What you need:

  • Shish kebab skewers made of wood
  • white candles
  • Paper towel

That’s how it’s done:

  1. Preheat the oven to 100 ° C.
  2. Remove 5-6 tealights per jam jar from the aluminum cover and wick and place in the jar.
  3. Choose oil crayons in your favorite color and add to it. Depending on the desired color intensity, half a pen is sufficient for the time being.
  4. Put the glasses in the oven and let them melt down. Stir occasionally with the wooden skewers. It takes a while.
  5. Have candles ready, take glasses with melted, colored wax out of the oven and let cool down a little.
  6. Dip the candles briefly in the paint.
  7. Then let it dry briefly in your hand and you’re done!

Tip: If the wax solidifies in the jars, simply put it back in the oven. And when you’re done, you can simply close the jars with a lid and use the leftover paint the next time.
