It’s very simple to make your own candles, and you can start with wax flakes, they’re pretty easy to find. Not only do these soy wax flakes last longer, but they are all natural and burn clean. You can put together the rest with items you have laying around your house. The container, and the essential oils are probably items you have laying around your house, so you have everything you need besides just the wick. The wick is held up by a pencil while you pour the wax.

Key Takeaways:

  • In order to make these candles you will need a canning jar, some soy candle flakes, a green crayon, a candle wick, a pencil and Eucalyptus essential oil.
  • When the wax is melted it is important to give the wax time to dry up and solidify. Keep the melted wax in your jar in a cool place and let him harden for 4 hours.
  • It is very important for safety reasons to never leave a candle unattended as that could become a serious fire hazard.
