What You Need:
Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- Chocolate Croissant Fragrance Oil - 2 oz
- Coconut Soy Wax - 5 lbs
- Blush Pink Candle Dye Flakes - 1 oz
- Wick Stickers - 10 Sheets (100 Stickers)
EQUIPMENT:
- Cd-16 Wicks - 10 wicks
- White Glossy Candle Jar - 2 Jars
Instructions
You will need:
- 4 White Glossy Candle Jars
- 32 oz. Coconut Soy Wax
- Blush Pink Candle Dye Flakes
- 2 oz. Chocolate Croissant 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 Wax and let it begin to melt.
TIP: To easily measure the wax, place the entire bag of Coconut Soy Wax into the microwave and melt until pourable - this may take several minutes.
2
Weigh out 2 ounces of Chocolate Croissant 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.
