This craft is great fun, and it\u2019s thrifty too since you\u2019ll be using the ends of old candles for the wax!<\/p>\n
To make DIY cookie cutter candles you will need:<\/p>\n
Start by melting your candle ends so that they turn back into liquid wax. Place them in your metal or glass bowl, or in a tin can, and place that over a saucepan of simmering water. If you like, you can add some extra color to your wax by adding in crayons. You can also add in some essential oil if you\u2019d like to create a scented candle.<\/p>\n
Next, cover your sheet tray with parchment paper and lay out your cookie cutters. Place a candlewick in the center of each cookie cutter.<\/p>\n
Hold the cookie cutter in place and slowly pour the wax in. Be careful not to let the wax get too hot before you pour it as very hot wax can make this part quite tricky.<\/p>\n
