Thanks everyone for the compliments. Dallas- 1/4 wasn't enough. it is weak burning now. When I poured 1/4 in the pot it was supper strong but after setting up it needs more. Sharyl- I used about 15 drops of red. Corence- I poured the red wax onto a cookie sheet then used a cookie cutter once it was set up and soft. used my votive wick pin to poke holes. then only filled the votive up to where I thought there would be room for the heart. Let it set up, then put my heart on the wick pin and poured carefully around it. HTH
