A super easy and safe way to make your own beeswax candles for light or decoration.

- Language: en

## Ingredients

- 1 cup beeswax
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- candle wick
- 30 to 40 drops essential oils
- herbs or dried flowers for decoration

## Instructions

1. Melt one cup of beeswax and a quarter cup of coconut oil until it becomes a clear liquid.
2. While the wax melts, prep your jar by dipping the bottom of a candle wick in some melted wax and sticking it to the bottom of the jar.
3. Wrap the top of the wick around a pencil or something long and round to keep it steady.
4. Once the wax mixture is clear, remove it from the heat.
5. Add 30 to 40 drops of essential oils and mix well.
6. Slowly fill your jar with the liquid wax.
7. Decorate the top with herbs or dried flowers, adding some while the wax is hot and liquid for them to fall down, and others when it's halfway set to stay on top.
8. Allow the candle to cure for about four to five hours.
9. Cut the wick.
