Directions

1. 1. Prepare Beeswax: Measure 8 oz beeswax pellets using a kitchen scale or by filling an 8 oz candle jar twice. Place in a suitable container for melting (e.g., glass measuring cup, tin can).
2. 2. Set Up Double Boiler: Position the beeswax container in a pot with simmering water, filling the pot only 1/4 full. Ensure no water spills into the beeswax.
3. 3. Melt Beeswax: Allow beeswax to fully melt in the double boiler (about 10-15 minutes).
4. 4. Prepare Essential Oils: Combine essential oils in a glass container and mix thoroughly with a glass stir rod or stainless steel spoon.
5. 5. Anchor Wick: Dip the wick’s metal end in beeswax and position it at the center-bottom of the 8 oz jar. Press down with stir rod to secure.
6. 6. Blend Beeswax & Oils: Remove melted beeswax from heat. Let cool slightly, then mix in essential oils until well combined.
7. 7. Position Wick: Wind the top of the wick around a stir rod or chopstick to center it. Place the rod on the jar’s rim.
8. 8. Pour Beeswax: Carefully fill the jar with the melted wax mixture, ensuring the wick stays centered.
9. 9. Set Candle: When wax has hardened, release the wick from the rod and trim it to 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Allow the candle to cure for 48 hours.
10. 10. Usage Tips: Label your set candle. For optimal burn, melt the candle to its edges on the first use. Enjoy!
