A smashing make to light up a long weekend - and you can use the eggs themselves for a leisurely breakfast
YOU WILL NEED:
Empty eggshells
Candle wax (or leftover bits from old candles)
Old saucepan
Egg carton
Wicks (try hobbycraft.co.uk)
1 Clean the eggshells in soapy water and let dry.
2 Heat the wax in an old pan over a low heat until it melts. Take off the heat.
3 With the eggshells held in their carton, carefully pour the wax into the shells.
4 As soon as the wax starts to become solid, stick a piece of wick of about 10cm length into the centre of each eggshell, so that it reaches the bottom.
5 Leave to harden, occasionally wiggling the wick into the middle. The wax should take a couple of hours to harden completely.
