Consider carving designs into the sand to expose the candle underneath. Trim the wicks to about ¼ inch (0.63 centimeters), if necessary. Flatten the bottom of the candle, if necessary. Use your candle."
The wax may set up sooner than that, but you will need to wait for the sand to dry as well. If you pull the candle out too soon, the sand may not stick properly. Use a spoon to loosen the sand around the candle, then carefully lift the candle out. This will prevent the candle from making a mess on your table when you use it. Depending on how hot your wax was, you may have a subtle sand texture, or a thick shell of sand. You can do this with a small spoon. Try doing some organic designs, such as swirls and loops. Depending on how long or short your wick is, you may need to trim it down. If it is too long, it will become a fire hazard. If th candle wobbles too much, turn the candle over and look at the bottom. If you see any lumps or bumps, you will need to smooth them out using a knife. Always place a candle stand under your candle to catch any drips or melted wax.
