Level the Bottom

Depending on how steady your mold-formation was, or how even your "feet" were, you may need to level the bottom of the candle.

Cover a frying pan with foil and put it over the heat. Set the candle onto the hot foil, holding it level, and melt/level the bottom.

Tip: You can skip this step if you're careful to make your mold holes level and/or your "feet" even.
