A candlemaker blends wax and scent into magic. Melt soy, paraffin, or beeswax in a double boiler at 170–185°F (77–85°C). Add 5–10% fragrance oil—think eucalyptus, rose, or cinnamon—for a rich aroma. Mix in optional dye for flair. Secure wicks in containers like mason jars or metal tins, keeping them centered. Pour wax at 120–165°F (49–74°C) to minimize air pockets, then cool for 24 hours. Trim wicks to ¼ inch (6mm) for an even flame. Test burn for scent release and duration—target 6–8 hours per ounce. Handcrafting ensures each candle glows with personality. Package simply, label with the scent name, and let your creations light up lives.
