Many people will tie the wick around a pencil to hold the wick in place as you pour the candle. The problem with this is that when the wick gets warmed it will go slack. If the wick is not taunt it can cause the candle to burn poorly. It could even give enough slack that the wick could touch the glass and cause your candle to shatter. You need to tighten your wick after pouring your candle. So, instead of untying and retying your wick you can try this super simple wick holder trick.
So, for the Candle Cocoon Method - All you need is a rubber band and 2-craft sticks.
The sticks need to be longer than the mold or container. Simply attach the sticks together with the rubber band.
After your attach your wick to the bottom of your candle thread your wick between the sticks and place on top of your candle container or mold. After you pour your wax gently tighten your wick. No more slack!
If you would like to order craft sticks, rubber bands or the wick holder assemble kit please order here.
