Copper Candles
How to make it:
1. Cut your wax into small chunks and place in
jar or can.
2. Place the jar in a saucepan 1/2 full of water –
make sure water level is below the mouth of
the jar.
3. Heat over low-medium heat, continuously
stirring the wax.
4. Add fragrance once wax is completely melt-
ed. (1 oz of fragrance to 1 lb of wax.) Stir to
combine.
5. Hot glue the wick to the center of the copper
cap. To keep the wick in place, use a clothes
pin across the top of the cap that holds the
wick in the center.
6. Remove the jar from the hot water. Use pot
holders!
7. Slowly and carefully pour melted wax into
the copper caps.
8. Allow wax to cool completely and trim wick
to about 1/2".
