Step into the holiday season with this Nutcracker Spice Candle Project!

These festive candles are scented with Spiced Pistachio Fragrance Oil, a cozy mix of warm spices and sophisticated sweetness that smells like holiday magic. Light these candles during gift wrapping, family dinners, or your next festive gathering, and let the glow (and the scent!) turn any moment into a celebration. Like all container candles, for best performance, burn for 1 to 2 hours on the first burn to allow a full burn pool and prevent tunneling in future burns. 

Instructions

You will need:

  • 4 White Ceramic Candle Jars
  • 32 oz. Coconut Soy Candle Wax
  • Sage Green Candle Dye Flakes
  • 1.75 oz. Pistachio Spice Fragrance Oil
  • CD-16 Wicks
  • 4 Wick Stickers

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 Candle Wax and let it begin to melt.
TIP: To easily measure the wax, place the entire bag of Coconut Soy Candle Wax into the microwave and melt until pourable - this may take several minutes.

2

Weigh out 1.75 ounces of Pistachio Spice 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

While your wax is cooling, add your dye flakes one pinch at a time. You can test your wax color by swatching it on a white cutting board or piece of paper. Continue to add single flakes, stirring, and swatching until you're pleased with the color. Once the wax is at 135° F, pour 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. This usually takes 1 to 2 hours and helps to prevent any tunneling in future burns.
