Want to make your home a little cozier this winter? Let's make scented soy candles! If you make this project, share it on instagram with the hashtag #hollyhomebody so we can all see!
Here's the info I mentioned about paraffin wax candles (scary!): www.besthealthmag.ca/best-you...
🕯 WRITTEN MATERIALS + INSTRUCTIONS 🕯
*These instructions and measurements will make one 8 oz. candle or two 4 oz. candles. Adjust the measurements based on how large your jars are and how many you're making.
To make the candles I made, you'll need:
- 2 4oz. jars (I used these amber ones): amzn.to/2MlSxZS
- 2 wicks: amzn.to/2W8exfp
- 1 tablespoon fragrance oil or essential oil: amzn.to/2RYRdRR
- 1.5 cups of soy wax: amzn.to/2Dqx4MK
- wax pouring pot: amzn.to/2WaYsp0
- clothespins
Prepare your jars by placing the wick in the bottom center of the jar and securing in place by using a clothespin (as shown in the video). Alternatively, you can glue the wick to the bottom of the jar. Make a double boiler by placing a pouring pot over a larger pot filled with a few inches of water and put the wax into the pouring pot. Turn the heat to medium. Heat the wax until melted, and pour in the fragrance oil. Mix. (add more oil if you'd like!) Pour the wax into your jar(s). Let the wax cool completely (a few hours) and then trim the wicks. ENJOY!
