If we were just making the Basic Floating Candles, we would just set the wicks in our muffin tin and be done. But these molds are a little bit more involved. It's a two-piece mold, which can be a bit tricky...but nothing a set of four clothespins can't solve. On some two-piece molds, the wick goes through the center, between the two mold halves. In this mold, it goes through the center of both. So you'll need to thread a piece of primed wick through a small hole in the bottom half, and thread it through the pouring hole in the top half.

Weigh out your wax and get it melting, and thread the wick through your mold.
