And also you always need more wax than you'll use because you need to keep the level high enough to dip. Having said that, I'm guessing I got at least 20 candles out of the ten pound block. <br /><br />And good luck with your wedding plans!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882235346307802213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097748844135258151.post-46061398667646117782012-03-03T12:32:21.823-07:002012-03-03T12:32:21.823-07:00This looks awesome!

It pretty much melts right through. You will have to do it a couple times, but saves a lot of time, effort, and mess.Stefaniebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00108987744053796040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097748844135258151.post-38365466059719514372011-05-21T16:27:00.009-06:002011-05-21T16:27:00.009-06:00Roue, I have seen them dyed.

Love your balloon candles. My mom used to make candles when I was a kid and I keep thinking of trying it but haven't seen anything worth buying the supplies for. Now I have and I think I will try this technique. Wouldn't it be fun to make Halloween candles with this technique...or Red white and blue for the 4th of July?
