Mastering the Art of Layered Candles: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Melting the Wax

Choose your preferred type of wax and melt it using a double boiler method. Make sure to keep the heat low and consistent to avoid overheating the wax.

Step 2: Adding Color and Scent

Once the wax is melted, add your chosen colorant and essential oils. Stir gently to ensure even distribution of color and scent.

Step 3: Pouring the First Layer

Pour the colored and scented wax into your candle container. Allow this layer to cool and solidify before proceeding to the next step.

Step 4: Creating Additional Layers

Repeat the process of melting, coloring, scenting, and pouring the wax for each layer. Make sure each layer is fully set before adding the next to achieve distinct layers.

Step 5: Setting the Wick

Once all layers are poured and set, place the wick in the center of the candle. Use a wick holder or a pencil to keep it straight and centered as the final layer solidifies.
