Let’s make it quick and simple, the recipe for four small candles.
Ingredients
1. 6 cups pure soy wax flakes (non-GMO if possible)
2. Natural wicks
3. Use 100% pure essential oils 80-120 drops (your favorite essential oils)
4. Prepare containers, glass, jars, or, ceramics to make sure the item is heat-proof.
Other supplies:
1. Glue or tape to hold the wick to the bottom of the container.
2. Scissors to trim your wick
3. Heat-proof container for melting the wax in.
4. Stirrer

Instructions
1. Melt soy wax in a pot over low to medium heat. Turn up the heat slightly, taking a few minutes, using a paddle pop stick for the stirring.
2. Once melted, add 75-120 drops of essential oils.
3. The wicks, add the wicks, measure the height by holding it next to your container, and then add a few centimeters on the bottom and top. Used sticky tape, fold it around itself to make it double-sided, then secure it to the bottom of the glass or ceramic. Use a skewer to press the wicks down and stick it to the bottom.
