2torial #0481: Learn2 Make Candles (Continued) Make rainbow candles Rainbow-striped candles take more time, but if you can make a solid-colored candle, you can make a rainbow candle. Here's the technique: you simply pour small amounts of wax, layer upon layer, with each layer a different color of the rainbow. The result? They're beautful and they make wonderful gifts. Plan the colors you're going to use and decide how many stripes you want to create.   Melt a small portion of wax and color it.   Pour it into the mold of your choice.   Insert the wick at this point (see Step 7)   Wait until the first bit of wax is completely hardened. Don't rush this process. (You might want to make rainbow candles an ongoing process, where you pour a little wax in every time you are making other candles.)   Melt your next bit of wax and color it accordingly.   Let the wax of your second color (and all remaining colors) cool down for a few minutes before pouring it into the mold. Note: If you pour really hot wax on top of an earlier layer, it might melt the previous color, resulting in a mix of colors. This may or may not be desirable, depending on your taste.   Continue adding colors until your candle is complete. -end- Learn More! or All steps at once (printable version)
