Once you've chosen your candle containers – jars, glasses, tea cups, mugs, etc. – it's time to prep them for use.
Make sure the containers are clean and completely dry. Then, place them on a sheet of wax paper. This will ensure that any wax spills will be easy to clean up.
Finish by inserting a candle wick in the center of each container. If you are using wicks with wick clips (little metal disks on the end), the wicks should stand up straight without any assistance (as shown in the picture). If you are using wicks without clips, you can hold the wick in position by tying the top of the wick to a pencil, and balancing the pencil across the top of the container.
