Materials
- Double boiler
- Clean, dry glass jars
- Pencil or chopstick
- Candle wicks
- 1 lb soy or vegetable wax
- 5-10 drops essential oils
- Wax dye (if desired)
Instructions
Dangle wicks in jars to find an appropriate length. Trim wicks to 1 to 1/12 inches longer than the height you plan to pour the candles. Melt vegetable wax over water in a double boiler until soft, smooth, and easily poured. Hold wicks in the center of their respective jars and use a chopstick or pencil to hold a small length of the wick to the bottom, then add a drop of melted wax and let dry to secure wick. Remove wax from heat and stir in essential oils and dye (if desired) and pour immediately into jars, holding wick taught and upright in the center. Let cool, then trim wicks to 1/4 inch.
