Homemade Aromatherapy Candles

Step 1

Melt soy wax in a pot over low-medium heat. They should melt fairly easily but turn up heat slightly if taking more than a few minutes. Stir using wood stirring device (I used a chopstick)

Step 2

Once melted, add 80-102 drops of your favorite essential oils. Amount depends on type of essential oils and how potent they are.

Step 3

Anchor wicks to bottom of mason jars using a bit of wax.

Step 4

Tape wick upright to a horizontal chopstick or pen (see picture above).

Step 5

Pour wax into mason jar and then repeat until all jars are full. Depending on size of mason jars you may have some wax leftover.

Step 6

Let stand until solid (about 1 hour).

Step 7

Cut wick to desired length.
