Items you will need:

• Black tin canister x2
• Soy wax
• Essential oil
• Wick
• Stir stick
• Scissors

Before You Begin

Measure your soy wax: To measure your soy wax, use your candle canister as a scoop/measuring cup. Two scoops of unmelted soy wax will fill your canister with the proper amount of melted soy wax.

Measuring Equation: 2:1 ratio

2 full canister of unmelted soy wax = 1 full canister of melted soy wax

Prepare your double boiler: To make a double boiler, fill a cooking pot full of water and place a heat safe bowl into the water. Put the soy wax into the heat safe bowl.

Let’s get started!

1. Prep the Containers: Set all your black tin canisters out with the lids off. Peel the sticker off the bottom of the wick and stick it inside the canister at the bottom in the center.
2. Melt the Wax: Heat the ingredients over medium-high heat until all of the ingredients completely melt, stir occasionally
3. Remove from Burner & Add Essential Oils: Turn off heat and remove the pot from the heat before adding essential oils.
4. Fill Container: Carefully pour the hot wax into the canister. Use the extra popsicle sticks to help keep the wick in place.
5. Let Sit: Let the wax cool completely and then trim the wick down to size using a scissors.
6. Add Lid: Once the candle has completely cooled and hardened, add lids.
7. Continue Candle Making! Reuse old containers or candles to keep making more candles to help those you love practice self care!

Make sure your reused containers are not flammable. Some may have flammable paint or other elements.
