You will need  

Votive or Pillar Wax
Fluted Tart Mold
Mold Release Spray
Flag Embeds

Red & Blue Cosmetic Glitter
Scent
Whipping Bowl, whisk and spoon

Step 1  

Prepare your work area and spray your tart molds with mold release spray.
Heat wax to 180-200 degrees.  Add scent and stir well.  Allow wax to cool to 160 degrees and slowly pour into tart molds.   Let tarts completely cool.

Step 2  

Remove tarts from molds after they have set up. Have embeds and glitter handy.

Step 3  

Reheat your scented wax until its melted and pour into the mixing bowl.  Allow wax to form a skin or film over the top and then start stirring the wax with a whisk or fork.   As the wax cools it will start to thicken up and become clumpy.   Place a glass flag in the center of tart and using a spoon surround the flag with whipped wax covering the base and the top of the tart.   It will look like a cloud.

Sprinkle the glitter over the top.  Allow to completely set up and harden.

Ideas Variations  

You can use this idea and technique for any glass embeds with a stem, from flowers to sea live. Buy changing the wax base color you could have a garden or a sea theme.
