Things You'll Need:
- Blended wax
- Metal container
- Metal saucepan
- Candle scent
- Eyedropper
- Small mold, larger at top than bottom
- Wick
-
Step 1
Melt the wax. Place it in a metal container, such as a metal measuring cup or tin can. Set that container inside a shallow pot of boiling water. Turn on the stove burner and allow the wax to melt.
-
Step 2
Drop some scent into the melted wax. Use an eyedropper or spoon, being careful to only put a few drops in. Keep a record of how many drops you use, so you know for next time.
-
Step 3
Pour the wax into molds carefully. Let the candles cool until there is a thin layer formed on top.
-
Step 4
Stick a small piece of trimmed wick into the center of the candle. Make sure it is sitting upright. After each candle has its own wick, allow to cool completely.
-
Step 5
Pop the candles out of the mold. Trim the wicks to about 1/4 inch.
-
Step 6
Put the floating candle into your bowl, wineglass or other container.
