Island Oasis Candle with Vybar 260
The Island Oasis Candle is the perfect summer vibe candle. I added a bit of Vybar 260 to enhance the scent throw and I am in love. Literally, I am loving everything from the smell to the color and the jar with this candle. This candle is simple enough for even a beginner to make.

Ingredients
- 6.50 ounce Soy Wax
- 0.52 ounce Island Oasis Fragrance Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Vybar 260
- Candle Wick
- Blue Candle Colorant
- Hexagon Candle Container
Instructions
- Prepare Wax - Weight out your Soy Wax and place into the pouring pot. Add the Blue Candle Colorant and your Vybar 260. Place on a double boiler until it is completely melted.
- Place Wick - Be sure that you clean out your candle jar. Place a small amount of hot glue on the bottom of the wick tab and place in the center of the jar. I found that the jar was a bit too deep for me to reach, so I just used something to push the tab down on the bottom.
- Check Color - It can be difficult to tell exactly what the finished color of the candle will be, because it looks a lot darker when the wax is hot than it does cooled. To check the final color, place a few drops on a paper towel and let it harden. If you need to, add a bit more wax.
- Scent - Add the Island Oasis Fragrance Oil and mix for at least one minute. You really want to give this a good stir to ensure that the fragrance oil and wax bind together.
- Pour- Pour the soy wax into your container. Using a pen or sharpie, really anything that you have on hand, center the wick. Allow to cool completely.
- Sink Hole - It is common to have a sink hole in your candle. Heat up the remaining wax in your pouring pot and pour it into the sink hole. You will want to pour enough to create a full layer on the top of the candle so you have a smooth top. Allow to cool completely.
- Cut and Store - Trim the wick to 1/4 inch. Store the candle for 1-2 weeks to allow it to cure and then enjoy.
