Step 2

2. Divide the wax into three equal portions. To one portion, use a toothpick to add a small amount of the golden honey colorant and stir. Pour the wax into the 8 cavities of leaves mold. To the second portion, use a toothpick to add a small amount of the orange liquid colorant. Stir. Pour the wax into six empty cavities of the mini leaves mold. Finally, add the brown dye to the last portion. Stir and pour it into the remaining empty cavities.
