How do i make lavender scented candles?
You will need wax, wicks and essential oil as ingredients. There should be a site where you can get all three.





Beeswax is great because it burns clean with no soot and burns slowly and evenly. And, you can easily get it on the web. Soy wax is a good alternative if you are vegan or something.





Melt the wax in a double boiler, or a stainless steel bowl set on top of a pan of boiling water. When it's fully melted add the oils (if you do it too early the smell will burn off) and then mix it up and pour into your container or mold. You can also search the web for some good pouring techniques.





Let it harden and presto--you have candles.
Reply:You can add the dried lavender to the wax, but I'm not sure how that will look/smell. Report It
