Can I melt the wax in a glass measuring cup?
The O'Neil Sisters
The type of wax in this project has to get up to a high temperature, especially because we're using an additive in the wax. Because of that, it's best to melt it in a pot over direct heat. We recommend using a pot or sauce pan on a stove -- and definitely keep an eye on the temperature so it doesn't get too hot. Hope that helps!

Wonderful!
The O'Neil Sisters
Thanks for watching, Patricia! We think the shell candle is so cool to make -- it's a lot of steps, but soooo worth it! Will you let us know if you make one? We'd love to know how it turns out!
