  Step 1

  Collect some shells from your local beach. I used oyster shells to make my candles a little larger.

• 

  Step 2

  This is a great project for using up half-burned tea light candles. Alternatively you can use fresh wax.

• 

  Step 3

  Remove the wicks from a couple of tea light candles and place to one side.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut the remaining candles and wax into small chunks.

• 

  Step 5

  Fill a shell with wax.

• 

  Step 6

  Gently heat the wax with a heat gun until it begins to liquify.

• 

  Step 7

  The wax will completely melt within a minute or so.

• 

  Step 8

  Place the wick in the middle of the candle.

• 

  Step 9

  Leave to cool so that the wax resets.

• 

  Step 10

  They're ready to use and you can keep refilling them with old wax as they burn down.
