First step:

We have the cans very clean and dry of moisture. We place a large paper on the surface and paint the cans with the paint spray. Let it dry well and apply another coat of paint.

Second step:

We cut a small piece of candle that contains the hooked wick. Cut the candles into small pieces and put them in the container that we are going to fill. We do it to have a fair measure of the amount of wax that we are going to need. We place the pieces in the casserole and take it to a water bath so that the wax dissolves slowly.

Third step:

Dip the piece of candle in a little melted wax. We immediately place the piece on the base of one of the cans. We pull the wick up and wind it on a stick. So that it is well attached we can spread it with a little melted wax. Then we fill the pot with the wax from the casserole.

Fourth step:

We will do the same with the lower cans. Cut a piece of candle that already has the wick and fill the cans with the melted wax.

Fifth step:

When the wax is cold we will decorate the cans. We will pour a drop of hot silicone and immediately place the wooden decoration.
