coloring and scents of your choosing. You also want a double boiler, a wooden spoon and a stove. A thermometer will also help you make sure the water is warm enough for your wax.

2. Now heat the water in the double water boiler and add the crushed wax. Now use your thermometer and be sure the wax reaches up to 160 degrees.
3. Stir the candle wax and put in your colour choice a little at a time until you get the color of choice.
4. Now you want to add the scent if you are going to utilize one. Be sure the wax stays the correct temperature while you are stirring and adding.
5. Now cut down your wicks to the length you desire. Begin dipping the candlewick into the hot wax.
6. Pull the candle wick out and allow it to cool. Carry on dipping and cooling until your candle is the length you want.
7. Don’t stop until you dip your candle wick for the very last time and let the candle cool to the desired temperature.
8. When the candle has entirely cooled, you can start to cut away the surplus candlewick and your fantastic candle is now in a condition to utilise.
