Instructions

1. Prep & Wick: Thoroughly clean your glass candle jars. Dip the metal tab of your Pre-Waxed Candle Wicks into a tiny bit of melted wax and secure them to the bottom center of each jar. Use a clothespin to hold each wick taut and upright.
2. Melt the Wax: In a heat-safe pouring pitcher weigh out 500g of the Soy Wax Slab. Melt the wax using a double boiler over medium heat until it is completely fluid and smooth.
3. Scent the Trio: Divide the melted wax equally into three separate heat-safe containers. Once the wax cools slightly to around 185° F add Gardenia Fragrance Oil to the first container Rosewood & Citrus to the second and Jasmine Fragrance Oil to the third. Stir each gently for 1-2 minutes to ensure the fragrance binds perfectly with the wax.
4. Pour & Set: Carefully pour the scented waxes into their respective glass jars leaving a small space at the top. Allow the candles to cool and cure undisturbed at room temperature for at least 24 hours.
5. Trim & Box: Once fully set trim the wicks to a quarter inch. Package your trio of botanical candles into custom printed cardboard gift boxes and your high-margin home decor sets are ready for retail!

Notes

Safety Warning: Never leave melting wax unattended! Always monitor your double boiler.

Pro Tip: To ensure a perfectly smooth surface on your candles lightly tap the glass jars immediately after pouring the hot wax to release any trapped air bubbles and ensure your wicks are perfectly centered before the wax begins to set.
