How to Make Muscadine-Scented Candles
Candles can be made in just about any scent by adding the right additives for your chosen candle scent while the wax is liquid. To make the candle scented like muscadines, the candle scent should be a high-quality liquid scent that is less than one year old for the best results. Older candle scent will fade quickly once it has been added to the candle wax. Does this Spark an idea?

Place candle wax in a candle pouring pot or a metal pan and place it over a heat source. Use a candle thermometer to measure the temperature of the wax to make sure the wax doesn't reach a dangerously high heat level. The wax should be kept below the red zone that is marked on the thermometer in order to avoid fire.

Add candle color to the pot of melted wax. Most candle color comes in solid blocks of color that are added in small amounts until the desired color is achieved. A candle that is muscadine scented might be colored either green or purple to match the common colors of muscadines.

Measure 1 ounce of muscadine candle scent for every pound of wax you have melted. If you want a double-scented candle, add 2 ounces per pound of wax.

Use 1/2 teaspoon of Vybar for every pound of your wax. Vybar is a powdered candle additive that will allow the wax to hold more candle scent, making your candles smell more strongly of muscadines.

Place a candle wick into the candle mold that you have chosen. It can be held to the bottom with a wick tab or you can thread the wick into the hole if your mold has one. Pour the wax into the mold and allow the candle to cool. Remove the candle from the mold only after the outside of the mold is room temperature. This should take at least two hours for small candles and overnight for larger ones.
