How to Make Your Own Beeswax Candles

How to Make Your Own Beeswax Candles

You will need:

• Heat proof glass candle jar
• Candle Wicks
• Mason jar & stainless Steel pot 
• OR Double Boiler
• Beeswax (bulk or other)
• Essential Oils
• We used Melalueca Clove, Cinnamon Bark & Lemon

How To:

(We are using the mason jar & pot method)

1. Place wax into mason jar and set into water
2. Bring to a boil
3. Lower heat to a mild rolling boil
4. Allow wax to melt, giving the jar a swirl once in a while (please use over mitts!)
5. Assemble heatproof glass, wicks and oils
6. Cut wicks to just 1/2 inch over the top of the edge of the glass
7. Once wax is melted, dip wick bases into the wax and set to the bottom of the glass jar
8. Add your oils to the melted wax - we used 1 part cinnamon, 1 part clove to 1/2 pat lemon. 
9. (1 part = 10 drops for 8 oz. of wax)
10. Pour melted wax into jar, slowly and carefully
11. Allow to cool and harden. Curing takes about 24 hours.
