Ingredients
- 3 lbs soy wax chips
- 2 12 ounces glass jars
- 40 drops essential oils for two candles
- 2 large candle wicks
- 8 fresh or faux flowers to decorate with
Instructions
- Melt the wax chips in a microwavable glass bowl. Using a bowl with a spout is best.
- Once the wax is completely melted, add in the essential oils. Personally, I like to use a lot of oil for a very strong scent. I use about 20 drops of each. Use more or less depending on your preference. Remember, it's not as strong of a scent once the wax hardens.
- Add a little wax onto the bottom of the wick, (there is a small round metal disc) and then place it at the bottom of the jar.
- Wrap the extra wick around the stick and rest it on top of the jar.
- Pour the wax into the jars and let it harden. It will turn from clear to white!
- Once the wax has dried, cut the remaining wick off.
- Tie some beautiful flowers around the outside and give to a friend!
