Amount of wax for candle mould Bubble Large: approx. 240 g
Amount of wax for candle mould Bubble Small: approx. 50 g

Important: The wax must not be heated above 60 - 70 °C, otherwise it will decompose and the candle will be uneven or even crumble when removed from the mould!

First, pierce the centre of the casting mould with a pointed object such as an awl and pull the wick through this hole. If you like, you can shorten the wick at both ends at this stage. The next step is to melt the wax. It is best to use a thermometer, as the wax must never be heated above 70 °C! Now pour the wax into the mould if you don't want to colour it.
For the coloured version, add the wax colouring granules as desired. Once the wax has melted and been coloured, pour it into the moulds. Make sure that the wick is in the centre. You can, for example, use a bamboo skewer to help you by placing it on the casting mould so that the wick remains in the middle.

After the drying time, the finished candles can be demoulded. If you have not yet shortened the wicks, you can do so now.

You will need the leather paper for the tags. Label the ribbon with the names and cut them out. Punch a hole in the top left corner to hang them on the satin ribbon later.

In the next step, place the finished small bubble candles on a card. To prevent them from slipping, they can be fixed to the card with pattafix. Then cut the tulle ribbon to size. Adjust the width of the tulle ribbon to the card. Two strips are needed per giveaway. Lay them crosswise and place the card with the candle in the centre. Tie the ends of the grommets together with a piece of satin ribbon. Pull one end of the satin ribbon through the tag and tie a bow.

For the table decoration, combine the large and small bubble candle. Arrange them on a wooden discs and decorate with eucalyptus branches.
