It may take some time to make this candle with the different layers and textures that are needed. You will first want to make the seeds out of black colored wax, just a few drops on some wax paper and shape them with your fingers to create the seeds. The seeds are going to stick to the side of the mold while you pour the different layers for the watermelon candle. The fragrance oil is added at the same time as the wax and when each layer forms a top skin is when you can pour the additional layers.

Key Takeaways:

  • First, you need to pour beeswax on a cookie sheet and mold the beeswax to form a teardrop shape, and they should resemble watermelon seeds.
  • Pour red or pink wax at 145 degrees to give it the watermelon look.
  • After the candle is cool it is time to remove it from the mold, and you can use the heat guns on the sides to make it look cold.

“While the seeds are still slightly warm and pliable, press the seeds against the sides of the pyramid mold until they stick there on their own.”
