Step 1

Pour the soy wax and fifteen drops of essential oil in a bag provided for this purpose. Close everything with an elastic band. In a pan of cold water, dip the mixture. Heat over low heat in a bain-marie (do not bring to a boil). Once ready, remove the bag from the pan with hot water.

2nd step

Place the wick of the candle in the center of the jar using the glue gun and a skewer. To hold the right wick along the skewer, place a clothespin to hold it all together.

Step 3

Place your container on a cutting board to avoid possible spills on your worktop. Roll the wax in 2 or 3 times and mark a pause between each step in order to freeze the wax.

Before the wax hardens, remove the skewer. Let it dry for a good two hours then cut out the strands that protrude with scissors. It will take 24h to make your candles ready for use.

Step 4

To decorate your candles, cut out your decals and place them on each jar. Add a small string on the top of the jar. And if you want to offer this candle present, I have prepared some labels to finish it all.
