Bottle caps Crayons Pre–waxed string Empty soda can Scissors Lighter
Cut the soda can in half and place the crayons in the bottom half.
Be careful about the crayon color combinations—you don’t want to end up with blackish–brown candles.
Fill a pan with approximately one inch of water and heat until boiling. Next, place the half–can into the water.
While the crayons are melting, cut the pre–waxed string into approximately one inch pieces.
Once the crayons have melted, pour the wax into the bottle caps while holding the wicks upright in the center of the cap (FYI—the aluminum can does not heat up).
Wait for the wax to cool and harden, then cut the wicks to a shorter length. Grab a match and enjoy your DIY mood lighting!
