Step 1

Measure out the amount of wax you need, depending on the size and amount of containers you'll be using.

Step 2

Melt the waxes in a double boiler. If you choose to add essential oils, add them at the very end after the wax has slightly cooled.

Step 3

Meanwhile, secure the candle wick to the bottom of your container. You can do this with glue dots or a hot glue gun. Make sure the wick is held upright in place with clothespins or by being wrapped around chopsticks.

Step 4

Pour the wax into your containers. You can also use a ladle.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the dried flowers and/or herbs. Make sure to keep them at least 1/2" away from where the wick is.

Step 6

Let harden, light, and enjoy with supervision!
