Valentine’s Day Candle

Print Recipe
This made a candle in a 2 cup jar.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups soy wax flakes
  • 1½ -2 teaspoons essential oil
  • Candle dye red and pink
  • Candle wick
  • Glass candle jar I used one similar to this size
  • Silicone mini flower mold

Instructions

  • Melt all 2 cups of wax using a double boiler or heat-safe pouring pitcher. Once fully melted, remove from heat.
  • Add candle dye if using and stir well.
  • Let wax cool slightly, then add in essential oils. Add the wick to the glass jar. Pour and allow to cool.
  • While it is cooling, pour some candle wax into the little flower molds. Allow them to harden, then place on top of the candle. If you need them to stay in place, you can add some warm melted wax to secure them.
  • Trim wick to 1/4 inch before first use.

Notes

  • Any essential oils will work.
  • Store in a cool place to maintain the whipped texture. If it melts in warm weather, simply re-whip.
  • Works best on curly, thick, or dry hair. May leave fine hair too oily.
