Candle Ingredients
Method
Candle Making Directions
- 1
Prepare Your Workspace
Ensure your workspace is clean and free from distractions. Lay out all your ingredients and tools for easy access.
- 2
Melt the Soy Wax
Measure 12 cups of soy wax flakes and place them in a double boiler or a microwave-safe container. Heat the wax on low to medium heat until it is completely melted, stirring occasionally to ensure even melting.
- 3
Add Fragrance and Color
Once the wax is melted, remove it from the heat. Add 1.5 cups of Mish Mish fragrance oil and stir thoroughly. Then, add 1 teaspoon of dye to achieve the desired apricot color and mix well until the color is uniform.
- 4
Prepare the Wicks
While the wax cools slightly, secure a candle wick to the bottom of each container using a small amount of melted wax or a wick sticker. Ensure the wick is centered and upright.
- 5
Pour the Wax
When the wax temperature reaches around 140°F (60°C), carefully pour the wax into each prepared container, leaving a little space at the top. Ensure the wick remains centered while pouring.
- 6
Cool and Set
Allow the candles to cool at room temperature for several hours or until completely solid. This may take 2-4 hours depending on the size of the containers.
- 7
Trim the Wicks
Once the candles are set, trim the wicks to about 1/4 inch above the wax surface to ensure a proper burn.
- 8
Cure the Candles
For the best scent throw, let the candles cure for at least 48 hours before burning. This allows the fragrance to fully bind with the wax.
