What You Need:
Bewitched Orchid Fragrance Oil - 4 oz
Blush Ceramic Jar - Small - 4 Jars
Coconut Soy Wax - 1 lb
Cd-16 Wicks - 10 wicks
Wick Stickers - 10 Sheets (100 Stickers)
Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- Bewitched Orchid Fragrance Oil - 4 oz
- Coconut Soy Wax - 1 lb
- Wick Stickers - 10 Sheets (100 Stickers)
EQUIPMENT:
- Blush Ceramic Jar - Small - 4 Jars
- Cd-16 Wicks - 10 wicks
Instructions
You will need:
- 4 Small Blush Ceramic Jars
- 28 oz. Coconut Soy Wax Blend
- 4 Cd-16 Wicks
- 4 Wick Stickers
- 2.2 oz. Bewitched Orchid Fragrance Oil*
*Original project used the now discontinued Blushing Orchid Fragrance Oil
Follow these steps:
1
Place a half-filled pot of water on the stove, bring it to a low simmer, and nest a pouring pitcher or other heat-safe container inside. Add 28 ounces of Coconut Soy Wax and let it melt. NOTE: Using 32 ounces of Golden Wax 464 fills each container to the top, but the lid will crush the wick. We used 28 ounces for this recipe so the lids fully close.
2
Weigh out 2.2 ounces of Bewitched Orchid Fragrance Oil into a glass container. Once the wax reaches 185° F, remove it from the heat and slowly stir in the fragrance for 1-2 minutes to fully incorporate. Set aside to cool.
3
Place wick stickers on the ends of the Cd-16 wicks and adhere firmly to the center bottom of the 4 ceramic jars.
4
Once the wax is at about 135° F, pour it slowly into the prepped jars. Secure the wicks with a clothespin (or other tool).
5
Wait 12-24 hours to allow the candles to fully cool. Trim the wick to 1/4" above the wax. Allow the candles to cure for 3-5 days so the fragrance completely bonds with the wax. Burn your candle until it reaches a full melt pool for best results.
