(Get your pen and paper ready to jot this down!✎✎✎)


(1) Prepared approximately 3kgs of silicone                                 (2) Enclosed the mold with a corrugated plastic board                                 (3) Slowly poured silicone into the mold while adding hardener

The silicone hardened in about a day. Then, carefully cut it open from both sides with a knife.    
Remove the Spiderman head from inside. Now, let's start making our DIY candles!!

(4) Heat the beeswax in a double boiler                                                     (5) Then add your preferred colored wax flakes

(6) Don't be lazy while heating! Stir evenly until the wax is completely melted.

(7) After the wax is fully liquid, cool it to about 73 degrees Celsius.                         (8) Choose your favorite essential oil~~~                          (9) We used citronella essential oil and stirred it evenly with the wax.

(10) Insert an iron rod into the center of the mold (to reserve space for the wick).                (11) Slowly pour the wax into the mold.                             (12) After pouring the wax, use a popsicle stick to secure the iron rod in place.



Remember not to waste the remaining wax by throwing it in the trash! You can collect wax from each session to make gradient-layered candles!



(13) In no time! After about one day, the wax will have solidified.             (14) Gently and slowly remove the iron rod.


(15) Then, carefully remove the finished product.



Ta-da!!! A Spiderman head candle is complete!


Finally,

(16) Choose your favorite wick.                                  (17) Slowly insert the wick into the reserved hole.                      (18) Leave an appropriate length of wick, and you're done!

DIY your own candles and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
