2 How to Make Scented Candles from Beeswax
Step 1 Double-Boil the Beeswax
First, place the beeswax pellets into the large glass jar. Then, prepare a large pot of water to ensure it doesn’t overflow when boiling. Place the jar containing the beeswax into the pot. Make sure the water level is about 1-2cm higher than the amount of beeswax in the jar.
Now, turn on the heat to melt the beeswax. After a few minutes, gently stir the beeswax with the stirrer to prevent it from burning.
Note:
– Beeswax is highly flammable, so be cautious and keep an eye on the pellets during the melting process.
– One sign that the beeswax is getting too hot is when smoke starts to rise from the jar. So, be mindful and control the temperature accordingly!
Step 2 Prepare the Candle Jar
While waiting for the beeswax to melt completely, start preparing your candle jar. Place the wick sticker at the bottom of the jar, positioning it in the center. Then, secure the wick by wrapping it around a chopstick placed across the mouth of the jar.
Step 3 Finish Up
Once the beeswax has fully melted, add 1/4 cup of coconut oil and stir well to combine the mixture.
Next, pour the beeswax mixture into your prepared candle jar, and it will be ready to use after 1-2 days of drying.
