Press the object or your hand object into the sand slowly and firmly in the middle of the bowl being careful not to wiggle the surrounding sand. Then slowly remove the object from the sand. Place the bowl into the freezer for 30 minutes allowing the sand to chill and harden. TIP: Take your time with this step, any wiggling or shifting will distort details.

Fill a small pot a quarter of the way with water. Place a metal grate at the bottom of the pot, so the pouring pitcher doesn’t sit directly over the heat. Add to a stovetop over low/medium heat and meltdown the paraffin wax. Stir continuously with a wooden skewer. Check the temperature with a candle making thermometer and remove when the temperature is 150 degrees. TIP: Do not let the ingredients come to a boil.

Let the wax cool briefly then lay the candle wick in the center of the mold. Use a wooden skewer to help push the wick into the middle of the wax. If needed pour melted wax over the wick to make sure the wick is fully immersed. TIP: Don’t worry if the wax spills over, it is easy to chip off those pieces once dry.

The paraffin wax will slightly shrink when cooling and separate from the sand. Once hardened, carefully remove the candle from the mold. Use a paintbrush with stiff bristles to brush off leftover stubborn sand that is stuck to the candle. Use the wooden skewer to help remove sand from any detailed areas. Carefully break away any wax that over spilled in the mold. TIP: If your candle doesn’t stand, use a sharp knife to carefully cut a straight edge for the base.
