how to:

1. Make sure the candles are clean and dry, before brushing all over with craft glue.  You may notice the glue ‘beads’ a little, this is because the wax is trying to repel the glue.  Just work over those areas to ensure plenty of glue coverage

2. Pour glitter into a deep bowl and use a dessert spoon to cover the candles with glitter.  You may find it easier to hold the candles by their wicks or else with 3 tooth picks threaded into each base.  (Using three picks allows them to stand easily while drying)

3. Once covered, leave for a few hours to dry before dusting off the excess glitter.  Place onto candle stands or plates to keep excess glitter and melted wax at bay
