Jack O Lantern Candle

  • Step 1Clean your candle holder with soapy water and dry well.
  • Step 2Think about what you want to draw on your candle holder. If you are unsure, try drawing a design on paper first, then copy it onto your candle holder with your glass and porcelain markers.
  • Step 3Allow your design to dry for a minimum of 24 hours.
  • Remember, when baking your candle holder, DO NOT pre-heat the oven. The difference in temperature may cause your candle holder to crack. Instead, put your object in a cold oven, then turn the oven on.
  • Step 5Once dry, place your candle holder in a cold household oven. Once the temperature has reached 160°C, bake your candle holder for 90 minutes to heat set your design.
  • Step 6Place a candlewick holder and wick in the bottom of your glass tea light holder. We used a glue dot to hold the wick holder in place. Wrap the top of your wick around a skewer to hold it in place.
  • Step 7Fill a paper cup with 2 squares of chopped up soy candle wax.
  • Step 8Microwave your cup of wax until melted and clear. Microwave in 20 second increments, stirring in between with a paddle pop stick.
  • Step 9Pour your wax into the glass tealight holder. Allow to cool. Once cool trim your wick.
