I tried to make this candle and I poured paraffin wax at 85°C. Once cooled and removed I could not see my objects that I added on the sides of my candle. I tried using a heat gun too to make it translucent but it got worse in the process. Could you help what can I do to improve it or what went wrong? Thanks

Yes, those are dried botanicals. It’s really tricky though. That was 15 years ago. If I were doing those today, I would experiment with using modpodge to apply them. With modpodge, you would be able to control foreground and background presentation of the botanicals. I would also use something like a medium melt point straight paraffin vs a high melt point straight paraffin, for the increased translucency. And, I’d couple it with LED candles for illumination. I hope that helps. 🙂
