How to Make DIY Pine Scented Soy Candles

Supplies

• Weck jars
• Soy wax chips
• Green wax dye
• Pine-scented candle oil

• Candle wicks
• Small wooden sticks
• Scissors
• Pot for melting
• 2 heat-proof bowls with pouring spout

Directions

•  Melt 10 cups of soy wax chips in a large, heavy pot on medium heat. Watch it carefully, as it’s hot wax!
• Once the wax is melted, add in drops of pine-scented oil (or whatever scent you want!), and divide the melted wax into two heat-proof bowls with pouring spouts.
• Add drops of green dye into one of the bowls. You’ll need several drops to make it really green!

• Place the wick at the bottom of the candle jar. If you want it to stay exactly in place, use a little to glue to fasten it to the jar. Otherwise, just wrap the top around a twig and set the twig on the rim of the glass. This will keep the wick standing upright while the wax cools.

• You can really do as many layers of green and white as you please! It just depends on how much time you want to wait in between drying each layer.
• I started with white wax, filling about ¼ of the jar, then placed the jar in the refrigerator to speed up the drying time.

• Once the wax is solid again, pour the other colored wax on top. Put it back in the fridge to solidify. Repeat this process until you reach the top.

• Remove the stick and cut the wick.
• Place the lids on, and wrap the candles up to give to friends and family this holiday season.
