Remember those pretty marbled Easter eggs I showed you yesterday? And remember what half of them looked like when my little toddler dropped them on the floor and they broke? A sad shattered mess. Well, I just couldn’t bring myself to throw all that hard work and those beautiful swirls away!
So I turned them into marbled Easter egg candles! Which was actually really easy, and all I had to buy were the wicks! These candles would make a great decoration for your home for spring and Easter, and would be fun to light at the table for your Easter dinner.
Of course you don’t have to marble these eggs for the candles, you could always leave them white, or just dye as usual using whatever colors you would like!
- Plain, dyed, or marbled eggs blown out eggs- Here’s my easy tutorial for how to make the marbled eggs (and how to blow out the insides of the eggs)
- Old candle, or candle wax (can buy at Michaels or Joanns)
- Candle wicks (can buy at Michaels or Joanns)- mine were 3 1/2″, but 3″ would be fine, too.
- Small amount of clay, play dough (or anything to plug up the hole in the bottom of the egg)
- A pot (don’t worry, it won’t even touch the wax!)
- Funnel
So are you ready for Easter? It’s so early this year!

I am still going to do this. I think this is a great thing to put on the counter next to the sink in the bathroom or the kitchen when cutting onions.
Laura @ Make Life Lovely says
Yes, great idea! Those darn onions get me every time! My friend’s son puts on swim goggles to cut onions, haha- smart boy…

Hello Laura! Thanks for sharing this. These marbled egg candles are simply cute! But, as eggs are kinda round at the bottom, would these eggs stumble easily?
Laura @ Make Life Lovely says
I would burn them on a candleholder, and make sure that they are nice and steady and in a secure place before lighting, just to be safe. Thanks for reading!!
