Recipe

INGREDIENTS:
  • Black Candle Tins - 6 tins
  • Golden Wax 464 - 2 lbs
  • Violet Purple Candle Dye Flakes - 1 oz
  • Silver EcoGlitter - 1 oz
  • Bewitched Orchid Fragrance Oil - 1.75 oz
  • Wick Stickers - 10 Sheets (100 Stickers)
EQUIPMENT:
  • Short Narrow Wooden Wicks - 10 Wicks

Instructions

You will need:

  • 6 Black Candle Tins
  • 6 Narrow Wooden Wicks
  • 21 oz. Golden Wax 464
  • Violet Purple Candle Dye Flakes
  • 1.7 oz. Bewitched Orchid Fragrance Oil
  • Silver EcoGlitter

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 21 ounces of Golden Wax 464 and a large pinch of the Violet Purple Candle Dye Flakes. Let everything melt. Tip: The wax lightens as it cools. To test the color, drip a small amount onto a white surface like parchment paper. 

2

Weigh 1.7 ounces of Bewitched Orchid Fragrance Oil into a glass container. 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 to cool.

3

Place the wooden wick into its metal holder. Trim it to the correct size - make sure it's not in the way of the lids. Secure the wick to the bottom of each container using a wick sticker.

4

Once the wax is at 150° F, pour it slowly into the prepped jars. Once the candle is about 90% cooled and almost completely opaque, carefully sprinkle glitter on top of each one. Concentrate it around the outside of the candle and avoid the wick. Tip: Do not sprinkle the glitter when the wax is still melted, otherwise it clumps together. You can also add the glitter once the candle has cooled completely to be safe.  

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.
