Hey - one great way to color your candles is to use crayons. Yes, crayons. That's one good reason I save all of my kid's little crayon bits. It doesn't take much, either. You just pop a little piece (like the length of a fingernail or less) into your melting wax and tada!! you've got color.

(NOTE: This is just a reccomendation for candle "fun". Meaning, that when you're just having fun making candles, and aren't too terribly concerned about how they will burn, and such. Crayon color can make your candle burn weird, sometimes. So, just be careful - or use it to make a pretty wax pillar that you're not going to burn...)

It's especially handy when you're wanting to have fun and make interesting or different colors. You can't find brown or grey wax dye so easy, but a brown or grey crayon? Of coarse. If you don't usually stock crayons, but make candles, it's definitely worth it to just pick up a box of 24 crayons (or bigger, if you so please).
