Overfill the candle jar you will be using for your wood wick candle with soy candle wax flakes. Dump flakes in a microwave safe glass bowl. Fill the jar again about ¾ full with soy candle wax flakes and dump into the bowl with the other flakes.
Microwave the flakes in 45 second intervals until melted, stirring well between each interval. NOTE: The bowl will be very hot when you remove it from the microwave so you will want to use pot holders.
Add essential oil and stir thoroughly and continuously for 2 minutes to ensure that oil is fully incorporated into the soy wax.
Place the wood wick into the metal wick holder and place wick into the middle of candle jar (you can add a bit of adhesive to the bottom of the wick holder so that it doesn't budge in the jar).
Carefully pour the wax into the candle jar. To prevent the wax from hardening and messing up your bowl, rinse immediately.
Allow the wax to fully cure (usually about an hour).
For best scent results, let soy candles cure with the lid on for 1 to 2 weeks before burning. This gives the oils and the wax enough time to bond together to give you the max scent payoff. Then you can burn your wood wick candle and enjoy!
Burn your wood wick candle and enjoy!
