Recycled Birthday Candles - part 2

3.  While the wax is melting take your crayon/sculpture and press it into the play dough so it is flush with the surface.  Gently remove by trying to lift the object straight up and out - a butter knife or toothpick is handy to ease it out.  There should now be a negative void of your sculpture pressed into the play dough.

4.  Use an old pair of tweezers or 2 toothpicks to remove the wicks from the now melted candles.  Lay them flat on the play dough or wax paper so they can dry a bit.  As soon as they are dry lay them into the playdough, centering them in the void and leaving a 1/8in pressed into the top surface.  (better pictures soon to help illustrate this)

5. Pour the wax very carefully into the void till flush with the surface.  make sure the wick stays under the wax.  Leave alone to cool for 10-15 min.
