Creating beautiful tea light candles doesn’t have to be a chore. With the right materials and a little bit of patience, you can create beautiful, long-lasting beeswax tea lights that are sure to impress. Here’s how to do it.

### Directions
1. Begin by melting your beeswax in a double-boiler on the stove in order to keep it at a moderate temperature.
2. Once melted, add a few drops of essential oils to add a pleasant aroma to your candles and stir until combined.
3. Place your wicks inside each muffin tin holes. Secure your wicks to the bottom of the muffin tin using the glue gun and glue sticks.
4. Cut thin cardboard into small discs and place each one inside the muffin tin covering the wick. This will keep the wick from floating to the surface as the wax melts.
