Place the wick at the center of the mold and then pour the melted wax over. Let it stand for about 4-6 hours to allow cooling before taking the candle out of the mold. Another way to do this is with the help of a fridge. Place the whole thing inside the freezer for about half an hour this makes it easier to take the candle off of the mold. You may also want to try to lubricate the mold with a non-stick cooking oil before pouring the wax in to effortlessly remove your candle in the mold.
