Set the skull glass tumbler aside, to dry.
Prepare the wick
Make sure the wick is free of lint.
Place the wick sticker at the bottom of the wick tab.
Remove the sticker cover from the wick sticker
Place the wick in the center of the skull tumbler.
Place sure the wick is securely attached the center of the bottom of the skull glass tumbler
Place the tumbler on a candle/cafe warmer. If your warmer as a temperature gage, set the temperature to the same temperature of the warmer to the beeswax pouring temperature.
Pour the beeswax at its correct pour temperature down the center of the tumbler. Make sure you don’t pour the wax down the bottom of the wick and not the top of the wick. Doing so will cause an issue when it comes to cutting the wick to the right size for burning.
Turn the warmer off and let the candle rest.
