Put the wax in the can and wait until it is liquid.
To get the docht in the right place, you can use a cordneedle to fix it.
Hang it in the glass until the cordneedle lays on top.

But each of its color must be dry first.
The candles in the cookie cutters can be taken out and the others in the can or glass can be left inside there.
