The sand will stick to your candle, so make sure that you are happy with the grain, color, and texture. The sand should be damp enough so that it holds its shape when you squeeze in you hand. It should not be so wet that it is soupy.

Leave these objects in the sand. When you pull the candle out, these items will be embedded inside the candle, and peek through the sand.

Don’t add any color or fragrance into the wax yet. The high temperature may change the color and ruin the scent. Never leave the melting wax unattended. If your wax has specific melting instructions, follow those instead. Some waxes have a lower melting and ignition point.

Consider pouring the wax over the back of a spoon to prevent too much splattering. Keep your face away from the mold and wax; there may be some splattering.
