1	Melt the Candle Gel Follow the instructions on the package to melt the candle gel.
2	Attach the Wick Secure the wick to the bottom of the fish bowl. Use adhesive if necessary.
3	Pour First Layer Pour a thin layer of the melted gel into the bowl. Allow it to set slightly.

5	Layering Pour more melted gel over the decorations. Allow each layer to cool slightly before adding the next. Repeat until the bowl is filled.

Choose Your Decorations Wisely: Ensure that the flowers and fruits you use are completely dry to avoid mold and decay.
Layering for Effect: Layering your decorations and gel can create beautiful, intricate designs. Be patient and let each layer set slightly before adding the next.
Safety First: Always follow safety instructions when melting the gel. Use a double boiler method if possible to avoid direct heat.
Wick Positioning: Keep the wick centered for an even burn. Use the stirring stick to adjust it as needed while the gel is still warm but setting.
Experiment with Scents: Add a few drops of essential oil to the gel for a custom fragrance.

Trim the Wick: Ensure your wick is the right length for a clean, steady burn.
Presentation: Place your beautiful gel candle in a prominent spot in your bathroom or living space to enjoy its aesthetic and fragrance.
