Blueberry Pie Candle
Materials:
candle wick
wick tabs
5" pie tin
blue and ivory wax die
blueberry candle fragrance
container candle wax
163-degree melt point embed wax
candle gel
blueberry mold
melting pots
wooden spoons
Steps:
1. Melt the wax for the piecrust in a double boiler.
2. Prepare the pie tin by attaching the three wicks to the bottom using
a hot glue gun or glue dots.
3. Begin to melt the wax for the blueberries. This is a special wax with
a high melt point so it will not melt when the hot gel is poured on it.
4. Add ivory dye to the wax for the piecrust; then stir. Fill a third of
the pie tin with the wax for the piecrust.
5. Let the wax cool for a few seconds; then shape the wax to the pan by
hand-forming the crust. Set the crust aside to cool.
6. Begin to melt the gel for the glaze over the fruit.
7. Add blue dye and blueberry fragrance to the wax used for the
blueberries; then stir. Pour wax into the blueberry mold and allow to
cool.
8. Remove blueberries from mold and arrange in the piecrust.
9. Add blue dye and blueberry fragrance to gel wax; then stir.
10. Slowly pour gel over the fruit and piecrust. Blowing on the gel
while pouring will help to prevent the blueberries from melting.
11. Allow the candle to cool. Trim the wicks and put warning label on
the bottom of the candle.
