Candle Decorating?

Question

I'm attempting to paganify some candles with some various coloured sigils, runes and the like.

Pretty much have these symbols on a candle.

Now the question is how would one go around doing this?

I have tried doing this by carving the candle and then putting molten wax in the spaces... an unmitigated disaster. What else would you suggest...I want any suggestions to doing this being non-toxic, and melt away easily without fume or smoke (outside normal candle smoking)

Answer 1

Make whatever shapes you want out of what ever material you want, this is gonna sound strange but, get a wax toilet bowl ring from your hardware store, the wax is very sticky and small pieces can be used as an adhesive to attach your symbols to your candle, this wax will melt with the candle.
