How to make 4th Of July Patriotic Tarts - DIY Craft Project from Craftbits.com
  • Votive or Pillar Wax
    Fluted Tart Mold
    Mold Release Spray
    Flag Embeds

    Red & Blue Cosmetic Glitter
    Scent
    Whipping Bowl, whisk and spoon

Step 1 Prepare your work area and spray your tart molds with mold release spray. Heat wax to 180-200 degrees. Add scent and stir well. Allow wax to cool to 160 degrees and slowly pour into tart molds. Let tarts completely cool. Step 2 Remove tarts from molds after they have set up. Have embeds and glitter handy. Step 3 Reheat your scented wax until its melted and pour into the mixing bowl. Allow wax to form a skin or film over the top and then start stirring the wax with a whisk or fork. As the wax cools it will start to thicken up and become clumpy. Place a glass flag in the center of tart and using a spoon surround the flag with whipped wax covering the base and the top of the tart. It will look like a cloud. Sprinkle the glitter over the top. Allow to completely set up and harden. Ideas Variations You can use this idea and technique for any glass embeds with a stem, from flowers to sea live. Buy changing the wax base color you could have a garden or a sea theme. This project was submitted by Candlesandsupplies
