- Break some old white candles in a bowl and add any coloured crayon colour
- Take a pan and pour some water in it. Boil water for 2-3 minutes and then place that bowl in a pan
- Once the wax gets melted along with crayon colour. Take a wick, dip the base inside it and then take the container and put this wick in the centre of the container just like this.
- Now add 2 teaspoons of essential oil in the 100 ml wax for great fragrance. The ideal temperature for mixing essential oil in wax is around 80-90 degree Celsius because if the wax is too hot then it will tampon the scent, and if it’s too cold, then oil will not disperse throughout the wax. It is purely optional.
