How do you make colorful rose candles?

Author: Dr. Andreas Kokott (About the Author)

Colorful roses are a real eye-catcher. In principle, every rose is unique. You will need:

  • a rose candle mold
  • wax
  • candle dyes
  • 2 containers
  • a thin wooden stick

    Image: Step 3) Carefully insert a thin stick into the cavities between the petals. Do NOT stir vigorously inside the mold. The colors should be blended slowly and carefully.

    You get very different results. Each one is unique because you don’t always use the same amount of wax and you don’t always work with the wooden stick in exactly the same way.
