Hand Poured Candles

Hand poured candles are so much fun to make! My favorite base is all natural
organic beeswax, purchased online or in craft stores.  The candles below are scented
with grapefruit, sweet tea and basil mint sage essential oils.

When making candles you will need bees wax, candle wicks, essential oils
and a jar. Attach the wick to the bottom of your jar with hot glue or sticky tape.
Melt the base in the microwave in a glass container for 30 secondincrements until melted.
Stir in essential oils. If purchasing oils from an online candle making company, follow essential oil amount instructions. Stir oils in the wax. Pour wax into your jar. You can use clothes pins to hold the wick in place while the wax is hardening.
Let the candle sit for several hours to set. Wait 24-48 hours to light.

Have fun!
