In a previous post, we made beautiful spray painted heart
jars. Here is part two of the tutorial where I turn those same jars into
decadent smelling candles.
You need:
- Candle wax of your choice
- Candle wick
- Mason Jar (Follow the tutorial here)
- Fragrance Oil
Before you begin, be sure you have the appropriate type and
size of the wick. If your jar is wide, make sure wick is wide enough in
diameter to burn optimally. And, if its narrow and long, make sure the length
of the wick is sufficient enough.
- Measure out the amount of wax needed. For this project, I melted the wax in a make-shift double boiler made from two metal containers—one small and one large. Fill water in the large container. Put the wax in the smaller container and place it in the larger one. Melt the wax on low to medium-low heat. Never leave melting wax unattended!
- While the wax is melting, secure your wick to the bottom of your mason jar. Dip the end in the melting wax and adhere to the centre of your jar. Hold that in place with two pencils.
- When the wax is fully melted, carefully pour the same into your jars while keeping the wick steady. Add a few drops of the desired fragrance oil.
- Allow the candle to cool overnight before you displace it.
- And voila! You have a lovely scented jar candle.
