Each box features full color project ideas on the top of the lid and complete instructions on the inside. This wax may be enhanced with any Yaley candle scents or dyes. No special wicks needed - sizes and types vary with the project as explained in the instructions. This package contains 1 pound/454g of white wax. Made in USA.
