how to candle

To make a scented container candle from scratch, gather soy wax, a cotton wick, a glass jar, fragrance oil, a digital scale, a thermometer, and a double boiler. Clean the jar, secure the centered wick with a sticker, melt the wax to 185°F, blend in 6–10% fragrance oil by weight, cool to 135–170°F (depending on wax), pour into the jar, and let it cure for 3 to 7 days
