This easy tutorial will show you step-by-step how to make beeswax candles with essential or fragrance oils that burn for a long time and smell amazing.
Out of all the types of candles, beeswax candles burn the cleanest. When burned, beeswax produces negative ions, which bond to positive ions in the air.
- 1 pound of beeswax
pastilles
- ½ cup of coconut oil
- 15 ml bottle of essential oil
or 1 ounce of fragrance oil
- Candle wicks
- Wick stickers or hot glue
gun
- Candle pouring pitcher
Add 16 ounces of beeswax and ½ cup of coconut oil to the candle pouring pitcher. Place it into a saucepan that is filled with about 2-3 inches of water and turn the stove onto medium heat.
Melt the wax and oil, stirring frequently, until it’s clear and smooth. Turn off the heat, allow it to cool down to 155° F then add a 15 ml bottle of essential oil.
