Instructions
How to make candles at home: Measure how much wax you’ll need to fill your candle container to the top and add 1/3 more of the pellets in a double boiler of your liking.
Using a heat source such as a stove, melt the wax inside a double boiler on medium-high heat.
Add essential oils and natural colorants once the wax is melted. Mix well. (OPTIONAL STEP)
In the container of your choice, place a candle wick in the center, either with the help of Popsicle sticks or chopstick.
Once your wax is evenly melted, slowly pour it into the container with the wick. While the wax is setting, you can keep the wick in place by sandwiching it smugly in between two chopsticks.
After 4-5 hours at room temperature, your wax ought to have hardened. Ta-da! Your very first candle is all done and ready to burn!
