Learn How to Make Marbled Candles

A do-it-yourself swirling method lets you easily create marbled candles. You will need a set of taper or pillar candles and enamel paint, plus some equipment including a bucket and drop-cloth. The bucket is filled with water and drops of paint, then stirred to swirl. Dip the candles one at a time and dry for at least an hour. One of the keys to this process is to wipe paint from the surface of the water with newspaper. This prevents a second layer of marbling from forming when the candle is pulled out.

Key Takeaways:

• To make marbled candles a person will need water, a bucket, enamel paint, newspapers, a stirring stick and gloves.
• It is important to use gloves and to operate in a well-ventilated area because enamel paint can create fumes.
• It is important to fill the bucket with enough water to fully submerge the candle and to add some drops of paint to the bucket of water.
