Plastic Warp Technique

This is by far fastest, easiest, and safest method of top sealing, and my personal favorite. Although it doesn't have as nice a finished appearance as the other techniques, it works well and i have used it on hundreds of youth group as well as several thousand sold at craft and street fairs. this method also best used when the candle will not undergo any rough handling (such as shaking).

The only materials needed are plastic cling wrap (from any supermarket), and some rubber band.

Step 1
Make sure the container is completely filled to the top edge. This will help prevent the design from shifting around and looking messy.

Step 2
Bend the wick over so it lays flat against the wax. This will allow us to position the plastic wrap as tight as possible without puncturing it. Note how the granulated wax is filled to the very top edge - this is vital when using this technique.












Step 3
Place a piece plastic wrap over the top and bring it down the sides. Make it as tight as possible.












Step 4
Position the rubber band to hold the plastic wrap tightly in place. NOTE: narrow rubber bands are useless for this so you should use rubber bands that are at least 1/4 inch (7 mm) wide.
