Candles are a popular way to enjoy scents and add ambiance to a room. They can also be used as a means of aromatherapy. There are a variety of methods for making candles, but the most popular is the melt and pour method. This method uses a pre-made candle wax, which is melted and then poured into a mold.
In order to make candles using the melt and pour method, you will need:
A double boiler
Candle wax
Fragrance or essential oil
A mold
A wick
Begin by setting up your double boiler. Fill the bottom pot with water and place it on the stove. Place the top pot inside of the bottom pot. Add the candle wax to the top pot. Turn the stove on to medium-high heat and wait for the wax to melt.
Once the wax has melted, add the fragrance or essential oil. Stir well to combine.
Carefully pour the wax into the mold. Make sure to pour it in the center of the mold.
Push the wick into the center of the wax.
Allow the wax to cool and harden.
Once the wax has hardened, remove the candle from the mold.
Store the candle in a cool, dry place.
