Soft boiled egg candles

Continuing the sharing of my Easter projects...


I have wanted to make soft boiled egg candles since I saw them on the Martha Stewart website years ago. After recently getting over my fears of hot wax crafts with Cameron, we decided to have a go at them.


They're really quite cute aren't they? See how the speckles are illuminated when they are lit?
Instructions and even a video clip, here. I didn't use any fancy gadgets like an egg topper though.

Thanks so much to everyone who entered the Home Baked Challenge - entries are now closed and I'll announce the winner later in the week.
