Pouring coloured taper candles

Candles are more than just sources of light - they create a cosy atmosphere and are beautiful decorative elements for your home. With coloured cone candles, you can add a personal touch to your rooms and make them a real eye-catcher. In these instructions, I will show you how to easily and individually make coloured cone candles. Whether for yourself or as a gift for friends and family, this creative technique is not only fun, but also leaves plenty of room for your own creativity.

Step-by-step instructions for moulding coloured taper candles

Melting the wax

Start by melting about 120g of composition wax at a low temperature in a melting ladle or universal melting pot. Make sure that the wax does not overheat to ensure the desired quality of the candles.

Add colour and fragrance

Depending on how intense you want the colour of your candles to be, add wax colouring granules. For a subtle scent, you can also add candle fragrances to stimulate your senses.

Prepare the wick

Pull the wick through a needle and push it through the bottom of the silicone mould. Use jewellery tongs to help you pull the needle out.

Fix the wick

Pull the top end of the wick into a metal wick holder. This holder ensures that the wick does not slip when pouring and remains straight.

Pour the wax and leave to dry

Now slowly pour the melted, coloured and possibly scented wax into the mould. Make sure that the wick holder does not slip. Leave the candle to dry for around 3 hours before carefully removing the coloured cone from the mould.

Arranging the decoration

Place the "Winter" twig garland on a bark board and trim it as desired with scissors. Place your coloured cone candles between the garland and sprinkle a few jingles on top to create a festive decoration.

Safety advice

Please remember never to leave candles burning unattended!
