Our wood wick candle is a stunning Christmassy creation, featuring a 3 crackling wicks and a bold green colour, this candle will look lovely in any home this season! The great thing about this candle is that it is also made using 100% vegan products!
What you need:
- EcoSoya CB-Advanced
- Green Chip Dye
- 50 cl Candle Glass 3 Wick Bowl
- Wood Wicks
- Wood Wick Sustainer
- Scales
- Thermometer
- Pouring Jug
- Chosen Fragrance
- Saucepan
- Bowl
Step 1 - Measure
Firstly using your bowl and scales, measure out around 425 grams of EcoSoya CB-Advanced Wax.
We like to use this wax as it exhibits a great scent throw, vibrant colours, and a smooth finish.
It's also vegan, cruelty-free and eco-friendly, what's not to love?
Step 2 - Melt
Next up, fill your pan halfway with boiling water, melting your wax on a medium to low heat and stirring until melted.
Once your wax has melted, you can take it off the heat to cool.
If you prefer to melt your max in the microwave, you can do so by placing your wax in a container on a medium heat for 5 minutes stopping at 30-second intervals to stir.
If your wax is not completely melted, stir and put it back in the microwave until melted.
Step 3 - Colour
Add your chosen colour liquid or chip dye to your wax and stir.
We have opted for green chip dye to create a festive green candle!
You can add your dye at any temperature, just remember to stir thoroughly.
Step 4 - Fragrance
Let your wax cool to 65 degrees before adding your chosen fragrance oil.
We have a range of Fragrances to choose from!
Step 5 - Prepare
Transfer your melted wax into your pouring jug.
Place your wooden wicks into their sustainers and place in a triangle shape for an optimum melt pool!
You may want to use some wick stick ums or glue dots to hold your wicks in place.
Step 6 - Pour
Pour your wax slowly and carefully into your glass bowl.
Leave to cure for a few weeks for an optimum hot throw when burnt!
Done!
That's it! A super simple crackling candle!
