Hello and Merry Christmas!

I am attempting to make homeade candles for Christmas gifts this year and I have ran out of coloring squares to use. Is it possible to use food coloring as a substitute in the wax or will this ruin the burn life of the candle? I am using an oil scent as well if that may make a difference. Thanks in advance for your help….

    The problem is that food coloring dilutes and you won’t get the saturation of color that you will with color blocks. I have used crayons for color in a pinch, though.

    i dont think that will work
    coz food colours are little weak and will not remain on the candle for a longer time period
