How to make homemade candles in a crockpot
1. Place the wick in the jar. If you need help getting it to stay centered, add a tad of glue to the weight and press into place.
2. Fill to the top with the soy flakes. Keep the wick centered as you fill.
3. Add 7-10 drops of rosemary oil to the jar. Place the jar in the crock pot set on high.
4. As the wax melts down, you will add more. Just sprinkle it in evenly around the wick.
5. Allow the jar to sit for about 60-90 minutes in the crock pot until the wax has liquefied. Add additional flakes as needed.
6. When the wax nears the top, sprinkle in the dried lavender buds. Or, you can add some of the lavender oil at this time.
7. Give the candle a last good stir, and remove from the pot. Allow to cool and harden.
8. Snip off any extra wick before burning. Never burn any candles unattended or do crafts with hot wax around children.
