Making your own candles is a breeze once you know how to do it. This is how to prepare the candle mold and set up the wick before pouring the wax. Lubricate the inside of the mold lightly with silicone spray or vegetable oil. Measure the length of the mold and cut the wick 2 to 3 inches longer than you will need when it’s finished. Fasten one end of the wick to a wick tab and place the tab in the bottom center of the mold. Hold the wick tab in place with a spot of melted wax. Pull the other end of the wick up to the top and tie it loosely to a pencil or chopstick that spans the opening at the top of the mold. Be sure the wick is straight and centered. You are now ready to pour the wax.
