Candles Making Essential Oils
and Fragrances
Candles making is an age-old tradition, and for good reason: It’s a fun, easy way to create something beautiful and useful. Not to mention, candles make great gifts.
But what many people don’t know is that you can also use candles to make your own essential oils and fragrances. All you need is a few simple supplies and some basic candle-making skills.
The first step is to gather your supplies. You’ll need a heat source (like a stove), a pot, a spoon, a measuring cup, a glass jar, some essential oils, and some wax.
Next, you’ll need to melt the wax. You can do this by placing the wax in a pot and heating it on the stove. Be sure to use a pot that’s big enough to fit the glass jar, and make sure the wax doesn’t get too hot or it will start to smoke.
Once the wax has melted, add the essential oils. Be sure to use the same type of oil that the wax is made from. For example, if the wax is made from soy wax, use soy oil.
Stir the oils into the wax and then pour the wax into the glass jar. Allow the wax to cool and then place a candle wick in the center.
Light the candle and enjoy your homemade essential oil and fragrance!
Fragrance Oil For Making Candles
If you’re looking to create your own scented candles, you’ll need to use fragrance oil. This oil is used to scent candles and give them their characteristic smell. There are many different types of fragrance oil available, so you can find the perfect scent for your candles.
When choosing a fragrance oil, it’s important to consider the type of candle you’re making. Some fragrances are better suited for candles with a strong scent, while others are better for candles with a light scent. You’ll also need to consider the type of wax you’re using and the temperature of the wax.
If you’re using a soy wax, you’ll want to use a soy-specific fragrance oil. These oils are designed to work with soy wax and will give your candles a strong scent. If you’re using a paraffin wax, you can use any type of fragrance oil.
When choosing a fragrance oil, it’s also important to consider the temperature of the wax. If you’re using a hot wax, you’ll want to use a fragrance oil that has a high fragrance oil. These oils will give your candles a strong scent. If you’re using a cold wax, you’ll want to use a fragrance oil that has a low fragrance oil. These oils will give your candles a light scent.
How Much Oil Candle Making

The amount of oil you will need for candle making will depend on the size and type of candle you are making. Most candles require around 1/2 ounce of oil per inch of diameter. This means that a 2-inch candle would need 1 ounce of oil, while a 4-inch candle would need 2 ounces of oil.
When choosing an oil for candle making, you will need to consider the type of candle you are making and the type of wax you are using. Paraffin wax is the most common type of wax used for candle making and it can be used with most types of oil. However, if you are using a soy wax, you will need to use a vegetable oil, such as olive oil, as soy wax cannot be used with mineral oils.
When choosing an oil for candle making, you will also need to consider the scent of the candle. Some oils, such as citrus oils, have a strong scent that can be overpowering in a candle. If you are using a scented oil, you will only need a small amount to achieve a desired scent.
