Melt wax using double pan method, do not continue to leave wax on heat once it has fully melted 2. Add colouring, remove from heat, and add fragrance 3. Tie a piece of wick, long enough to reach the bottom of the egg, to a lollipop, securing to the egg with blutac 4. Pour in wax, **TAKE CARE, THIS WILL BE HOT** 5. Leave to set the first layer for aprox. 30 mins, any less will mean the layers will merge 6. Repeat melting to create different layers, leaving 30 mins between each layer 7.
