Where can i find instructions on how to make treasure candles?

I want to make candles with fun “treasures” like stones,shells,and trinkets hidden in the wax, revealed as the candle burns.

If you have a cadle making maching, (30$) at hobby lobby, its very easy. Just place the trickets into the mold before you pour the wax. If you dont have a machine, you can use a double boiler to do the same thing. The double boiler is more time consuming and very messy. You can make many different colors and scents to go with your trinkets. Instead of a mold candle you can try craft stores for different jars and such to fill with wax. I have used this method, its easy and cheap. If you have any other questions, just e-mail me. Good Luck!
Basically all you need is a mold. Put the wick in and pour it adding the non-flammable treasures in stages. A juice can works well. weigh the wick to the bottom and pour. Waxed cardboard milk containers work too. Peel off when they’re hard.
