Making your own Easter candles

**Material for making Easter candles**
Eggs, residues of candles or candle wax, candle wicks, a pan with some water, empty tins, a pair of small, sharp scissors

Tip: Use differently coloured wax leftovers- so you will get striped Easter candles.

Take an egg and prick carefully a little hole in the top of it by using a pair of small, sharp scissors.	Turn the egg upside down and prick a bigger hole (about 1 cm / 0.5 inch) in there.	By blowing into the small hole you will get the yolk and white out of the eggshell.	Rinse the whole eggshell with warm water.

For drying put it into the egg carton (bigger hole at the bottom).	Heat the residues of candles or the wax in a tin after putting the tin into hot water. Take away the wicks.	Put a new wick into the bigger hole until it appears out of the small hole.

Put the eggshell into the egg carton (smaller hole at the bottom).	Pour the hot liquid wax into the eggshell.	Wait until the wax is hard and peel away the eggshell.	Polish the Easter candle with a soft piece of cloth and keep it upright.

Finally you can decorate the Easter candles(decoupage, candle pen).
