Instructions

  • Weigh out the candle wax and place it into a pouring pot. Heat the wax on a double boiler over low heat until it is completely melted.
  • Using a hot glue gun, position the candle wick in the center of your candle.
  • Remove the candle wax from the heat, add fragrance oil, and mix well.
  • Pour the candle wax about 3/4 of the way and allow it to cool completely.
  • Print out your design and cut it out.
  • Once the candle has cooled completely, place the design on the candle.
  • Pour the remaining candle wax on top of the design, ensuring a slow and close-to-the-container pour.
  • Use a wooden skewer to move the design back into place if necessary. Allow the candle to cool completely.
  • Trim the wick to 1/4 inch.
