1: Gather supplies:

Everything you need to make quality citronella candles can be found here at Candlewic.

• • Soy wax
  • Citronella oil
  • Other essential oils (used for fragrance enhancement)
  • Candle container
  • Candle wick

2: Make your candle:

Attach candle wick to the candle container.

Melt your candle wax in a pot on low heat, once the wax is liquid remove from heat. Add citronella and other essential oils such as eucalyptus oil into liquid wax that is removed from heat.

Pour liquid candle wax mixed with essential oils into the candle container.

Cool off your candle in the refrigerator or freezer until wax hardens. This should only take 2-3+ hours.

3. Light your candle:

The best part, this is your candle that YOU made!

You can sell your candle, gift it to a loved one, or light it up yourself and personally experience the benefits.

If the candle fragrance is missing something, or too much of one ingredient and not enough of another… take note of this and adjust during the next candle creation.

Impress your friends, family, co-workers, etc. Keep those bugs away and become enhanced by pleasant scents.
