~ Vintage Style Soy Candles ~

I had been wanting to make

my own candles for such a long time....

I finally ordered some supplies online from

Aussie Candle Supplies....

I ordered some vanilla and some

coconut & lime oils, as well as

some wicks and soy wax flakes.

I gathered some vintage glass containers

& I stuck the wicks down

with some hot glue before I started.

I put newspaper down and got some old

saucepans to make my own double boiler.

The soy wax melted easily

and I added the essential oil essences

while it was hot. I didn't worry too

much about the temperatures,

I just added it and took the wax

off the heat as soon as it melted.

I used chopsticks to hold

the wicks steady as the wax set.

I let them set for 48 hours and I

trimmed the wicks.

These candles smell amazing and

they burn really well.

I can't wait to make more candles in the new

stash of vintage containers that I have found!

Happy week dear friends!
