What you’ll need:

How to make this funfetti candle:

Step 1: Use a hot glue gun to attach a wick to the bottom of the jar. Try to center the wick as accurately as possible.

Step 2: Combine corn syrup and water in a separate bowl, then coat the inside of the jar. A small paintbrush can help you reach the lower parts.

Step 3: Hold the jar horizontally and add a spoonful of sprinkles. Slowly roll the jar around to mix them up inside. Add another spoonful and repeat until the jar is coated completely.

Step 4: Pour melted wax into the jar. Optional: Add essential oils to make a scented candle.

Step 5: Attach wick to a pencil, then rest it on the jar’s surface. Let it cool. It should be completely cooled after 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 6: Cut the wick, then light your funfetti candle. Enjoy your new candle!
