Dipping diy candles is all about building layers, & you will alternate dipping your candle into the wax & cold water to set each layer.Dip the wicks into wax, then into the can/cup of cold water.
Drape the finished candle pair over a hanger & clip with a clothes pin so they stay in place or use an upper cabinet in the kitchen with something to secure the end inside. Allow to cool completely.
