The Materials Used
Pure beeswax Soy flakes Ground cinnamon Cinnamon sticks Cinnamon essential oil Star anise Empty glass jars with lids Heatproof jug Small saucepan Candle wicks Candle stickers Wick holder
How to Make It
Step 1: Add a small amount of water to the saucepan, then set the heat-resistant glass jug on top. Ensure that it does not touch the bottom of the pan, or the wax may burn.
Step 2: Using a measuring spoon, fill your candle jar with soy flakes. Add directly to the heat-resistant receptacle and allow it to melt as the water simmers.
Step 3: Clean the candle jar as much as you can. Let it dry or use a towel.
Step 4: Add the wax buttons to the bottom of the metal portion of the wick, and then press it down to the middle of the glass. The wax will help in keeping the wick in position. Insert the wick into a wick holder so that it will remain upright.
Step 5: After the wax has softened, stir it. Place it on a cooling rack and allow it to settle to approximately 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 6: Add 30 droplets of cinnamon essential oil to the mixture and stir well. Pour a small amount into the jar. Place four or five cinnamon sticks around the sides of the glass before the mixture hardens. Chopped cinnamon bark should be added to the candle. Allow it to settle before filling it. Add one teaspoon of cinnamon powder to the beeswax and stir. To achieve the ombre effect, add a small amount of pure beeswax to the top. Fill the container with melted wax and sprinkle star anise into it.
