Step 8. Wicking our candle

Remove the wick pin from the candle by pressing it on a hard surface.

Votive wick pin removal

If you have problems removing the wick pin, you can always put a light coat of vaseline on the pin prior to pouring th candle. This will aide in removal later.

Insert the top of the pre-tabbed wick through the bottom of the candle and thread it up until the tip of the wick pokes through the top of the candle.

Pull the wick all the way through the candle

Light the candle and enjoy! These candles will drip so you should put them into a glass container!

Be safe!

Have Fun and Use your imagination!
