Crystal Gel Wax Candle | Easy No Heat Required Candle Making

Hello people, Welcome to DIY Craftopedia. Candle making was always one of my favorite Craft Works. Hence, trying out new methods is always exciting. This time, I'm making a Gel Wax Candle.

Melting wax is a difficult job. Especially if you don't have a double boiler.

This chore makes candle making unpopular craft. But, not anymore. This technique is very simple as you won't require any heat.
