You Will Need

1.1 oz The eScential Group Myrrh & Saffron fragrance oil
(2) 8 oz Candle Jars
2 Candle Wicks
Instructions
Prepare Your Workspace
-
Cover your work area with newspaper or a disposable tablecloth to protect it from wax spills.
-
Set up your containers and wicks. Secure the wicks in the center of each container using a wick holder or by taping them to a pencil laid across the top.
Meting the Wax
-
Use a double boiler or a heat-resistant container to melt the wax. If you don't have a double boiler, bring a half filled pot of water to a simmer, and add a heat safe container inside the pot.
-
Add your wax and melt until the wax reaches 185 F ( 85 C).
Adding Fragrance
-
Take wax off the heat and slowly mix in your eScential Group Fragrance or Essential oil of choice.
-
Stir for 1-2 mins until evenly distributed.
Assembling
-
Set aside and let sit until it reaches 135 F (35 C), then pour slowly into prepared candle jars.
-
Wait 12-24 hours to fully cool the candles, and wait 3-5 days before using to allow candles to cure. Trim candle wick down to 1/4" from the wax.
Light your candle and enjoy!
