How to Make an Easy Votive Candle

Prepare your molds (I'm using 3 oz. paper Dixie Cups here) by setting them in a low tray or pan. Take your prepared wick and wrap the top of the wick around a craft stick, or like I've done here, slide the tip of the wick through a slit in a plastic drinking straw. Hang the straw or stick over the top of the mold/cup so that the wick hangs down the center. The wick tab should touch the bottom of the cup firmly, without causing bends in the wick.
