How to make it
8 steps
Step 1 Grab the scales
Grab a measuring jug or a bowl and weigh out 225g of wax to make one candle.
Step 2 The wick & the stick
Prep your candle container. Put the wick sticker on the bottom of the wick and stick it within the jar. Take your centering tool and place it on your wick to make it nice and centered.
Step 3 Melt your beads
Pour your wax into a saucepan or a microwavable bowl. If you are using the hob, heat on low until it has melted into a clear liquid. For the microwave, heat for 1 min and then stir. Microwave for another 1-2 min until clear.
Step 4 Temp check
If using a thermometer check the temp is 70c. This is the perf temp for your essential oil scent to come through the strongest.
Step 5 Pour up
Add the whole bottle of your essential oil into the melted wax and give it a good stir.
Step 6 Time to set
Pour wax mixture into the candle jar. Now let it set for about 12 hours.
Step 7 Trim your wick
Once set you can trim your wick and your candle is ready. You can light it straight away or if you want a more intense scent, you can let the candle cure for 3-7 days.
Step 8 Personalise
Get creative by drawing a design onto the jar – personalised for your home or to give as a gift.
