Driftwood and Amber Candle Project
- Skill Level: Beginner
- Time: 1 hour
- Yield: Four 9 oz. Candles
Project Description
It has notes of aloe blossom, amber, sandalwood, and heliotrope. We love it for creating a cozy scent that is not overwhelmingly spiced, or fall-themed.

You will need:
- Four 9 oz. Amber Glass Jars
- Four Cd-20 Wicks
- Wick Stickers
- 32 oz. Coconut Soy Wax
- 2.6 oz. Driftwood and Amber Fragrance Oil
Follow these steps:
1
Place a half-filled pot of water on the stove, bring it to a low simmer, and nest a pouring pitcher or other heat-safe container inside. Add 32 ounces of Coconut Soy Wax and let it begin to melt.
2
Weigh out 2.6 ounces of Dritftwood and Amber Fragrance Oil into a glass container. Secure the wicks to the bottom of each container using a wick sticker.
3
Once the wax reaches 185° F, remove it from the heat and slowly stir in the fragrance for 1-2 minutes to fully incorporate. Set aside until it cools to 135° F.
4
Once the wax is at 135° F, pour it slowly into the prepped jars. Center the wicks with a clothespin or other tool.
5
Let the candles cool for 12-24 hours. Allow them to cure for 3-5 days so the fragrance completely bonds with the wax. Burn your candle until it reaches a full melt pool for best results.
