Fall Favorite Essential Oil Pumpkin Spice Candles

Ingredients for Essential Oil Pumpkin Spice Candles:

4 medium wood wicks and clips

2 lbs soy wax flakes

4 glue dots

4 candle pots, 8 ounce

1/8 ounce orange essential oil

1/4 ounce cinnamon essential oil

1/8 ounce clove essential oil

1/8 ounce ginger essential oil

How to Make DIY Essential Oil Pumpkin Spice Candles:

Using glue dots adhere to wood wick clips to the center base of each candle pot. Insert wood wicks and cut wicks to just meet the top of each pot, set aside.

Fill a large saucepan with about 2 inches of water and place it on the stove to heat. Place soy wax flakes in a metal candle pouring pitcher and set inside the large saucepan. Whisk often and heat until melted using the double broiler method. Remove from heat immediately to avoid wax becoming too hot. Let the wax cool to 120°F to 125°F before adding essential oils.

Once the wax has cooled add essential oils and whisk or swirl to combine. Carefully pour the scented soy wax into prepared candle pots.

After making these essential oil candles allow them to cure for a minimum of three days for a good scent throw. A cure time of 1 to 2 weeks is even better for natural waxes.

Yields: 36 ounces or 4, 8-ounce candle pots
