2torial #0481: Learn2 Make Candles (Continued) Make textured candles This technique uses sand as a mold, leaving you some freedom to create a mold of your own design. And removing a candle from this mold couldn't be easier. Fill a bucket 3/4 full with clean sand.   Dig in the sand and to create an interesting shape. You can make some very lovely rounded candles using this method.   Slowly, carefully, pour the melted wax into the hole in the sand. The sand will stick to the outside of the candle, making a interesting texture.   Don't try to insert a wick by the method in Step 7.
