If you choose beeswax, it mixes well with warm and earthy aromas — see below for essential oil blends. For every 8 ounces of soy wax, use 40 to 45 drops of essential oils.
For every 8 ounces of beeswax, 60 to 65 drops should be used. Measure your wax. You should have twice as much as wax the candle container holds. For example, if your container stores 8 ounces, you should melt 16 ounces of wax. Once you have your measurement, bring the water to a soft boil and keep a close eye on your wax. Stir the wax with a wooden spoon. Measure cotton wicks. Wicks should be about two centimeters taller than the height of your container.
Using the list above, gather your supplies. Tie your cotton wick to a bamboo skewer with about five inches to spare on one end. By applying hot glue, affix that end of the wick to the bottom center on the inside of your mason jar. If you have leftover wick, roll it around your skewer until it is taut. Place your hardened beeswax into your glass measuring cup. As your wax melts, it may reduce. We recommend placing 10 ounces of hard wax into the measuring cup.
When it melts, it should end up measuring around eight ounces. Add 20 drops of bergamot essential oil and 20 drops of cedarwood essential oil to your melted wax.
Stir quickly to prevent your wax from cooling. Finally, carefully pour the scented beeswax into your mason jar. Let it sit, or move it to the refrigerator until it hardens.
