I don’t know what it is about winter, but there’s something magical about lighting a candle when it’s cold outside. The soft glow, the cozy scent it just makes everything feel calm.

This Snowflake Candle has become one of my favorite. It’s simple, looks beautiful, and fills the room with the most refreshing, clean winter aroma. Perfect for a night in or as a handmade gift.

Snowflake Candle Recipe:

Picture this: it’s a chilly evening, you’ve got your fuzzy socks on, a blanket wrapped around you, and your favorite show playing in the background (AKA The summer I turned pretty). You light your Snowflake Candle, and suddenly your whole room smells like winter. That’s exactly why I love making these candles they turn ordinary nights into tiny winter cozy rituals.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups soy wax flakes
75 drops essential oils
1 cotton candle wick
Candle mold

Instructions:

1. Melt the Wax

In a double boiler, melt your soy wax flakes over low to medium heat, stirring gently until fully liquid.

2. Add Essential Oils

Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool to about 125–130°F. Stir in your essential oils until everything is evenly mixed.

Winter Scent Ideas:

Snowfall Serenity: 30 drops eucalyptus, 25 drops lavender, 20 drops spearmint
Sugar Snowflake: 30 drops vanilla oleoresin, 25 drops spearmint, 20 drops sweet orange

3. Prepare Your Wick

Attach the cotton wick to a popsicle stick and lay it across the top of your candle mold so that the wick stays centered.

4. Pour & Set

Slowly pour the wax into your mold, keeping the wick in place. Let it sit overnight to harden completely.

5. Trim & Enjoy

Once firm, gently remove your candle from the mold and trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. That’s it your cozy Snowflake Candle is ready to light!
