Step 1
Find a suitable mold. Anything with an interesting texture will work provided you can remove wax from it easily.
-
Step 2
Look for things such as the inside of a sheet of corrugated plastic, a sheet of crumpled aluminum foil, or a specialty mold made for this type of project.
-
Step 3
Be sure that whatever you use can be enclosed to keep the wax from running out. Aluminum foil is good for making walls.
-
Step 4
Coat the mold with silicone spray.
-
Step 5
Pour melted paraffin wax into the mold.
-
Step 6
Remove the wax carefully while it's warm and still pliable.
-
Step 7
Use a paintbrush to apply melted wax as an adhesive and wrap the wax "skin" around an existing candle (pillars work best).
-
Step 8
Trim the excess wax while it's still warm. A razor blade or sharp knife works well.
