DIY Soy Candles

Materials:

• Candle dye, optional

Directions:

• Using a double boiler, melt the soy wax flakes and add your favorite scents and color dye.

• Once the flakes have completely melted, remove the pot from the double boiler and let cool.
• Simultaneously, use a blow dryer to warm up the jars and pour the wax into the containers, thread the wick with a Popsicle stick and allow it cool for a few hours until solid. Cut the wick about 1/4 inch long.

• Use recycled handmade gift wrap and tags to label the candle.
• Make labels for the candles and add them to the lids of the jar.
