Cardamom and Cedar Candle Project
They're scented with Cardamom and Cedar Fragrance Oil. It’s a unique mix of cinnamon, cedarwood, cashmere, cardamom, and musk. For this project, we also used Coconut Soy Candle Wax and poured it into 4 oz Clear Glass Jars. That way the candles look as good as they smell! They’re perfect for a cozy night in.Â
One key thing with all containers is to ensure a full burn pool for the first burning; this often takes 1 to 2 hours and ensures that there is no hole down the middle of the candle for future burns.

What You Need:
Instructions
You will need:
- Four 4 oz. Clear Glass Jars
- Four CD-20 Wicks
- Wick Stickers
- 14 oz. Coconut Soy Candle Wax
- 1 oz. Cardamom and Cedar 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 14 ounces of Coconut Soy Candle Wax and let it begin to melt.
2
Weigh out 1 ounce of Cardamom and Cedar 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. For the first burn, make sure to burn your candle until it reaches a full melt pool for best results for future burns.
