put a hole in the bottom of the bowl the size of the drain hole in the pot this will be where the heat from the candles will enter into the dryer

for the wire rack use a hammer and metal tool with a point to make holes around the rim of bowl every 3 inch of so and put the wire through each hole feeding the wire to the hole across from it and continue doing so until you run out of holes and tie the wire at the ends now you have the body of the dryer
