TIPS
The stacked candle can have two or more colored shapes.
All thhe pieces need not be in a straight line , offset a little bit like a spiral.
Three or more sizes of the same shape can be stacked with the smallest at the top like a tree.
The shapes can be prepared and kept ready for use whenever required.ov
