Pour 4 cups of beeswax into a mason jar or Pyrex measuring cup. Use something that you don’t mind dedicating to your craft closet, as it will be difficult to get whatever you use here clean again.

Microwave the wax in 2-3 minute increments. Stirring between. Similarly to melting chocolate. It should take about 9 minutes total.

Once the wax is completely melted, add essential oils of choice. I used 40 drops sweet orange, 10 drops spruce, and 5 drops clove.

Set out the candle molds you’d like to use. I used glass Weck jars.

Add the candle wicks to the glass jars. To do so, dip the metal part of the wick into the melted wax. Place the metal end of the wick into the center of the candle mold, holding into place until the wax dried.

Add candle wick stabilizers. Tape two skewers together on each end, leaving the center open. Carefully slide the skewers over the wick so that the skewers rest at the top of the candle mold, holding the wick in place. Do not pull on the wick, it will come off of the glass. If this happens, just repeat step 5.

Once the wick & skewers are in place, pour the wax into each mold. Set aside to harden.

Once hardened, remove the skewers and trim the wick!
