#1 What you'll need:

1 empty Coke bottle

2 crayons in black and purple

white candles

1 nut

1 toothpick

1 wick

First, you have to empty the Coke bottle. Maybe you want to drink it all up.

Tip: To remove the wick from the candles, just break them and pull the wick from the shorter piece.

To mix together the typical Coke color, the colors black and dark violette are best to use.

#4

Add the white candles and the crayons to a bowl and heat them in a water bath until the wax is completely melted. To do this, pour some water into a pot and heat it up. Then turn the heat down to medium and then add the bowl with the candles and the crayons into the pot so that the bowl is exposed to the warmth of the boiling water at the bottom. This way you can melt the ingredients safely and evenly. By stirring, the color evens out and the wax melts.

Tip: Depending on the size of the Coke bottle, you might have to use more than one crayon for coloring.
