I don't know about you, but I love scented candles!
They are perfect for giving a cocooning atmosphere at home.
The problem is that they are often expensive and full of toxic ingredients...
Fortunately, there is an economical and 100% natural recipe for making your own scented candles.
And don't worry, this recipe is quick and super easy to make! Watch this handy guide:
- pitcher in aluminum or heat-resistant glass
- old pan
- 250 ml glass jars
- kitchen thermometer
- soy wax pellets
- candle wicks with centering pads
- essential oils or scented candle oil
- pencils or chopsticks
1. Prepare a bain-marie by submerging the pitcher in the saucepan.
2. Put 450 g of soy wax in the pitcher.
3. Melt it by heating to 85°C.
4. When the wax is melted, add 30 ml of scented oil of your choice.
5. Remove from heat.
6. While the wax cools, place the wicks inside the jars. Center them and hold them in place with chopsticks.
7. Take the temperature of the wax. When the wax is at 60°C, pour it carefully into the prepared jars.
8. Let cool overnight.
9. Cut the wicks to 1 cm.
10. Light your candle.
There you go, your homemade 100% natural scented candle is already ready :-)

No more buying overpriced scented candles full of chemicals!

For scented oils, you can choose ready-made blends like this Cinnamon Orange.
Or an essential oil of your choice such as lavender or ylang-ylang.
