Pour your glow in the dark powder into the resin mixture You can use one color or layer multiple tones for a swirling galaxy effect Stir gently until fully combined
3 Pour into the Mold
Slowly pour your glowing resin into the mold Avoid overfilling as you will need room for the LED insert
4 Add Embeds Optional While the resin
is still liquid add glitter dried flowers or small stones to personalize your candle shell
5 Let It Cure Let the resin
sit undisturbed for 24 to 48 hours until completely hardened
6 Insert LED Candle
Once cured pop your resin candle out of the mold and insert a small LED tealight into the center You can also place a votive candle inside as long as it does not come into contact with the surface
Glow Tips for the Best Effect
Charge your candle under direct sunlight or UV light before use
Use white or clear base for a brighter glow
