How to Make the Candles:
Stage 1: Begin by deciding on the design you wish to paint. Apply the acrylic skin tint paint to all terracotta pots and let them dry. Lightly pencil your chosen design (geometric, floral, or any other) onto the pots.
Stage 2: Use the tempera paints to add vibrant colors to your designs, creating a beautiful finish on the terracotta containers.
Stage 3: Once your pots are decorated, carefully fill them with molten paraffin wax, making sure not to submerge the candle wicks. Allow the wax to set, and your handcrafted candles are ready to light up your space.
