Step 2
In order to make a candle with coffee beans with your own hands, prepare the paraffin wax for work. Rub a regular utility candle with a coarse grater. Melt it in a steam bath. Prepare a mold for making a candle. This can be any glass jar, coffee can, or baby juice box.
Step 3
Place one layer of coffee beans on the bottom of the candle mold. Fix the wick on a kebab stick, lower the free end into the glass. Gently pour the melted paraffin wax onto the grains. Make sure that the paraffin wax covers the coffee beans completely if you do not want the beans to float up to the top of the candle. Leave it to harden for thirty minutes.
Step 4
Rub another candle and melt in a water bath. Pour into the mold. It will take two to three hours until it cools completely. After that, gently pull out the wick. If you can't remove the candle, put it in the refrigerator for a while, and then in cold water. Making a candle with coffee beans at home does not take long. Several coffee candles can be made in a short time. Decorate them with raffia, satin ribbons, or other decorative elements.
