Step 2: place the candle in a pot (use an old one) and put it on a very low heat to melt the wax - it'll look like water, don't simmer or boil it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: take the pot off the heat and pour the melted wax through a hole (it ought to be a key hole) into a bucket/ bowl with cold water - leave the shapes to set
