Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Melt wax glue in a double boiler. Place the double boiler over medium heat to ensure that the water does not boil too rapidly.
2

Place the beads on a cookie sheet in a thick layer to be sure enough of them adhere to the candle.
3

Dip a paintbrush into the wax glue. Paint the areas on the candle where you want the beads to stick. Make lines, dots, or other patterns with the glue.
4

Roll the glue-covered candle on the cookie sheet full of beads. Sprinkle the beads on to the candle with your fingers if rolling the candle on the beads doesn't work.
5

Hold the candle over the cookie sheet. Tap the candle gently to remove any excess beads.
6

Place the candle upright or in a candle holder to allow the glue to dry completely.
7

Display the candles or give them as gifts.
