step 1

Project art

With scissors, cut a length of wicking 3 to 4 inches longer than the height of the mold. In a double boiler, melt some of the wax over very low heat and soak the wick in it for 5 minutes. Lay the wick on a piece of wax paper to dry; make sure it's straight. If your mold isn't watertight, seal it with mold seal. Lightly spray inside the mold with nonstick cooking spray.
