No-wax candles

Things needed :

Pan
Spoons
Crayons
Wicks
Container (To pour candle into)
Glue
Cloth pins


Ingredients :
Vegetable Shortening (Dalda/Crisco)
Essential Oil of your choice

Method :

1) Take some vegetable shortening in a pan depending on how big your container is. Heat the pan on medium heat, till the shortening melts.
2) Meanwhile, take a crayon of your choice. Remove the wrapper and cut in small pieces.
3) Glue the wick to the centre of the container.
3) Once shortening is melted, remove from heat. Add the crayon pieces and mix well till crayon is melted. Add essential oils and mix well.
4) Pour the mixture in glass container. Keep the wick straight in centre using cloth pins if required.



Tips :

1) For easier and cleaner way to make this, use a microwave instead of a stove.
2) In case you want to use microwave, you can directly mix shortening and crayon in the glass container you want to make candle in and add the wick when the candle begins to solidify.
