Answer:
Candle dye, and no, you cannot use crayons because they smoke. I might as well put this one to bed, too. No, you cannot use food coloring. Water does not blend with wax.
There are several different types of candle dye; chips, blocks and liquid. Liquid is more expensive, but it’s VERY concentrated and will last a long time. It also give the brightest, most intense color. The others, not so much. Be sure to buy the right candle dye for the type of wax you’re using.
