Take the candles out of their metal tins and cut the wax around the wick in the middle (you'll want to use the wick for the shells). Place the wax into the pot and place it into a saucepan filled with water. Leave the water to boil until all the wax has melted. This slow process is easiest as the wax needs to be heated slowly (we wouldn't want it to catch fire). While the wax is melting, put the shells ready with the wick in the middle (the wax dries very very fast). When the wax has melted, pour it into the shells. Don't pour over the wick and remember to leave enough wick to remain uncovered.
Many of you may now that yesterday was Earth Hour. Each year, across the globe, people turn off all their lights and 'give back' to the earth. I personally love this idea as it raises awareness and gives people time to reflect and think about how they can incorporate the idea of a sustainable future into their daily lives.
So, in the spirit of earth hour, I decided to make these relaxing shell candles!
YOU WILL NEED:
-three shells (1 large, 2 smaller)
-three candles
-an old pot
