Stir the color and/or fragrance into the wax well.

Pour the melted wax into a cookie sheet or, as I'm using here, an inexpensive baking pan.

Consider how big you want your chunks when deciding how deep to pour the wax. That is, for big chunks (say, for big pillars) pour to about 1/2" deep. For small chunks (say, for votives) just pour about 1/8" to 1/4" deep.

Set the pans aside to cool.

But don't go too far...you're going to need to keep an eye on it as it cools.
