How to Build a Candle Dipping Vat
- 1). Empty a large can of coffee into a large freezer bag. Seal the bag and store the coffee in your freezer until use.
- 2). Rinse out the can to remove any remaining coffee grounds, and then place the coffee can into a saucepan with the opening facing up.
- 3). Fill the saucepan halfway full of water. This will lift the coffee can up slightly.
- 4). Place two pounds pure beeswax into the coffee can.
- 5). Heat the saucepan over medium-high heat. The water will slowly boil, which will melt the beeswax without scorching it. Once the beeswax melts, use the can as a candle dipping vat.
