How to Make DIY Pine Scented Soy Candles

Supplies

  • Small wooden sticks – to tie the wick to as the wax is hardening.
  • Scissors
  • Pot for melting

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 drops of pine-scented oil (or whatever scent you want!), and divide the melted wax into two heat-proof bowls with pouring spouts.

But for those who enjoy lemon-scented candles, here are 11 ways to use lemon essential oil.

  • Add drops of green dye into one of the bowls. You’ll need several drops to make it really green! Or if you’re using wax to dye.

  • 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 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.
