Choose Candle and Mark

Pick a candle and mark about where your largest ring would fall. You can use this marking to form a candle base.

Heat Water

Use a microwave or stove to heat up enough water to submerge your candle in. Make sure your water isn't too hot, this could melt the wax before you bend.

Soak Your Candle

Soak your candle for about ten minutes, the hotter the water the less time it will take your candle to become malleable. (I used a purple candle to test out bending)

Bend!

After about ten minutes, take your candle out of the water and apply force. Use your hands to bend the base of the candle into a ¨C¨ shape as a standing base. You can also bend the candle into an ¨S¨ shape and turn the candle horizontally. Feel free to express your creativity and bend into unique shapes; you can always cut a flat side into the wax as a stand.

Design

Use a lighter to melt wax together if your design needs it.

Organize!

I split my silver and gold jewelry with this two-stemmed candle. You can organize from largest to smallest rings or most to least used.
