How to Make Seashell Candles:
Take some deep and straight standing shells, fill them with melted wax, place wicks with holders into the bottoms and let them dry. You can pick up a block of wax and a bag of wicks at your local craft store. Also consider recycling some of your candles! I always have quite a bit of wax leftover from my pillar candles. The deeper the seashells the longer your seashell candles will burn.
