Put the small sand wax in a small heat-resistant cup. Place the cup inside the saucepan to make a temporary water steamer. Note: You should not heat the wax directly over the fire, otherwise they will burn or melt away. Larger light to boil water. The boiling water will slowly melt the wax.

• Note that the wax can be difficult to clean - so buy an inexpensive heat-resistant pot that you can use specifically for candle making.

Add aromatherapy oil to the molten wax. The type of aroma oil is up to you to choose from. Aromatherapy oils like essential oils can be purchased at your local craft store. It's better to read the directions on the bottle instead of depending on how strong the aroma oil will smell after you've added it. Stirred.

Add color. Conventional pigments are not very effective when applied to candles because they are in the form of water. Buy oil-based dye from your local craft store. You can easily find a special dye for candles. Read the instructions on the bottle to get the right amount of oil to get the right color. Add dye oil drop by drop until the desired color is achieved.

Part 3 of 3: Pour Wax into the Mold

1. 

   Pour the molten wax into the mold. Pour slowly to prevent the wax from spilling out. Make sure you do not accidentally remove the wick. You are the one who decides how much wax you will pour. The beeswax will shrink a bit when it cools down, so be mindful of this when pouring the wax into the mold.

2. 

   
   
   Remove the wax from the mold and cut off the wick, leaving only about 1cm. This will help keep the fire going, as long wicks will cause excessive fire.

3. 

   Light the candles and enjoy your work.

4. 

   Finish. advertisement
