Candle Eggs

Supplies:

• Eggs (not hard boiled)
• Sharp Nail
• Old Candles or Parafin Wax
• Wicks

Hollow out several eggs by gently poking a small
hole in one end of each egg. Rinse clean and set
the eggshell in the egg carton.

Melt some old candles or paraffin wax and wax
coloring in a double boiler over low heat.

Place a funnel over the opening of the egg and
carefully pour wax into the hollow eggshell in the
carton. When the eggshell is full, insert a wired
wick into the egg, centering it with a piece of tape
for support.

Allow the wax to cool and harden, then break off
the shell and buff the candle with a soft rag.

Heat the bottom end of the candle to soften, then
press on a flat surface to make it stand up. or
use a candle holder.


Variations:

You can use several different colors of wax,
layering them. Let them cool between colors. Add
glitter or metallic confetti to make the egg
sparkle. Color the wax with old color crayons
instead of buying wax coloring.

BE SURE THE EGG SHELL IS DRY BEFORE FILLING IT!
