Ingredients
- 1 cup (3 oz) soy wax
- 2 tablespoons Beeswax
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 30 drops orange essential oil
- 10 drops cassia essential oil
- 4 drops clove essential oil (optional)
- 2 wicks with metal bottom
- 2 3 oz jars or metal contianers
Instructions
- Metl the soy wax, beeswax, and coconut oil in a double boiler or melting pot.
- Once the mixture has just melted, remove from heat, add the essential oils, and stir for 30 seconds.
- Dip the bottom of the wick into the melted wax to adhere it to the bottom of the contianer. You can also put a drop of hot glue in the middle of the contianer to hold the wick more firmly. Prop the wick upright, and pour the wax into the container. You can use a pencil, or better yet thread the wick through the spring of a cloths pin to insure it stays up straight.
- Allow the candles to cool completely. Trim to the wick to 1/4 inch in height. Burn candles within sight and away from flmmable objects, children, and pets.
