Speaking Of Scents

I love aromatherapy candles and I buy them quite often, I have however, noticed they tend to be a bit expensive depending on how often you buy them.  So I have decide to make them and save some money and here is how I do it.

First, you will need containers for your aromatherapy candles, pint sized canning jars or jelly jars work great, next you will need wax, beeswax is best but can be expensive, paraffin wax is not recommended for indoor use.  You will also need essential oil, about 5 drops for 2 cups of wax flakes.

You will need to melt the wax the same way the directions tell you to according to the wax you purchased, add your essential oil to melted wax after you removed it from the heat, stir to incorporate the wax and the oil, next set the wick in the jar and while keeping the wick in place pour in the wax.  Using a wick setter is great for making aromatherapy candles.  After you have allowed the candles to cool until they are solid you can begin burning them or better yet, give them as a gift, they make terrific gifts.
