The process is pretty much the same as the multi-pot method, except instead of separating the wax and coloring each portion separately, you just add the color onto the previous color.
The first layer is white - no color
The second layer is yellow - add yellow colorant The third layer is orange - either add enough orange colorant into the yellow wax to give you the orange you need, or (my preference) add a little red to the yellow to give you a nice deep orange. (red + yellow = orange) Let the layers cool as before.
You can use this for any layered candle where the colors are additive onto one another. For example:
- Layer 1 - White
- Layer 2 - Yellow
- Layer 3 - Green (Made by adding blue to the yellow)
- Layer 1 - Red
- Layer 2 - Purple (Add Blue to the Red)
- Layer 3 - Brown (Add yellow or green to the purple)
Enjoy!
